Kohli had a decent outing in the game and looked good while he batted before he was dismissed by a Lasith Embuldeniya delivery for 45. While he missed out on a 50 or a 100, he did go past the 8000-run mark in Tests becoming only the sixth Indian to the figure after Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag.
Kohli also received a guard of honour when India took the field after their batting, while coach Rahul Dravid presented him a memento before the start of play to commemorate his achievement.
