    "editor1": "<p><strong>North Sound (Antigua), Aug 21:<\/strong>&nbsp;Indian skipper Virat Kohli will eye one more record when he comes out to bat during the two-Test series against the West Indies starting Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli has struck 18 Test centuries as Indian skipper and needs just one more century to equal Australia&#39;s Ricky Ponting&#39;s tally of 19 Test tons as a skipper. If he manages to get to a century at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, both Ponting and Kohli will be tied at the second spot.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith is at the top spot with 25 centuries to his name in 109 Test matches, including 17 centuries in 56 overseas Tests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall, Kohli has scored 25 centuries, which include six double hundreds.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India whitewashed Windies in both the T20I and ODI series and are expected to do the same in the two-match Test series, which will also see the two teams beginning their campaign in World Test Championship.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
