Virat Kohli has already announced his arrival in Australia with a blistering half-century in the third T20 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With the first Test to be played at Adelaide, the Indian skipper will be itching to go out and bat.

Not to forget, Virat Kohli has a tremendous record at the Adelaide Oval. In the two Test matches he played here, Virat has scored 3 centuries.

The current India skipper first played here in 2012, where scored a fighting 116 under tough circumstances. His ton was the only century for an Indian from the entire Test series. Despite his ton, India went on to lose the match by an innings and 298 runs.

The second visit to Adelaide was in 2014 and this time it was a much established Virat Kohli. He scored a scintillating 115 in the first innings that kept India in the game and followed it up with a sensational 141 in the second innings that almost won the game for India.

India fell short of 48 runs but the innings played by Virat Kohli is regarded as one of the best Test knocks played an Indian in Australia.

This time around the Indian skipper would want to go one step ahead and help India win the Test match.
