The Uttar Pradesh-born fast bowler brought India tantalisingly close to victory with dream figures of 11-8-8-4 in Sri Lanka's second innings.
Needing an outright win in the two remaining games to keep its hopes of advancing alive, Tamil Nadu could only manage a first innings lead, which pegged it back in the race.
India turned around the Kolkata Test in the final two sessions with pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar hitting top gear en route to superb bowling figures of 4/8 to reduce Sri Lanka to 75/7 in pursuit of 231 before bad light stopped play at 26.3 overs.
Kohli scored an unbeaten 104 as India declared their second innings at 352 for eight, which left Sri Lanka with an improbable 231 to chase in little over a session in the opening Test at Kolkata.
Vice-captain David Warner drew criticism from Britain last month when he spoke openly about his feelings for England when the countries are meeting for the oldest prize in Test cricket.
The 231-run target was out of reach for Sri Lanka as the Indian bowlers went full throttle raising visions of a victory, reducing them to 75 for 7 before umpires called off play due to deteriorating light.
In the list of most centuries as a skipper, the Indian captain now has equalled Sunil Gavaskar’s tally of 11 hundreds.
On Monday, Cheteshwar Pujara achieved this rare feat and became only the third Indian and ninth overall cricketer to bat across five days in a Test match.
Skipper Virat Kohli hit one of the finest counter-attacking centuries in recent times as India nearly scripted an epic win before the first cricket Test against Sri Lanka ended in a draw after a tantalising final day's cricket.
