    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kolkata, Nov 20 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>&nbsp;India coach Ravi Shastri on Monday said &quot;sky is the limit&quot; for skipper Virat Kohli after his match-winning 104 against Sri Lanka in the first Test here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He is a fabulous player. The sky is the limit for him,&quot; Shastri told reporters on the sidelines of a programme in the city after India played out a draw against the Lankans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The hosts came close to winning the match after reducing the tourists to 75\/7 in the second innings on the fifth and final day at the Eden Gardens. India set them a target of 231 after Kohli led from the front with an unbeaten 104 off 119 balls that included 12 fours and two sixes after initial jitters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was Kohli&#39;s 50th international hundred -- 18th in Tests, 11th as skipper, and the first at the hallowed ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was also the fastest to get to 50 hundreds in all formats of the game. In the second innings, India declared for 352\/8. In the first innings, Sri Lanka posted 294 in reply&#39;s to India&#39;s 172.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Following up, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4\/8) and Mohammed Shami (2\/34) bowled superbly to drag the islanders to the cusp of defeat before bad light stopped play and honours were shared.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked about the display of his bowlers, Shastri said: &quot;The coach is very happy.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India take on Sri Lanka in the second Test in Nagpur from Friday.<\/p>\r\n",
