#4 100* against Australia, Jaipur, 2013
Kohli's love affair with the Aussies is undeniable. He has played many memorable knocks against them. One of them came at Sawai ManSingh in the high scoring home series in 2013. Australia made 359 runs and India had a daunting task in front of them. Even though Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma gave India a tremendous start, the team still needed 186 runs in 23.5 overs. What followed was boundary-studded carnage from Kohli and Rohit henceforth.
From the way Kohli batted, it appeared as if he had been in the nets throughout the day. During the course of his 52-ball hundred, the fastest century by an Indian, he played some of the most remarkable shots. I can still recall a six he hit off Shane Watson where the ball was short, and he pulled it towards the deep mid-wicket boundary. It was simply a "wow" moment as Watson dejectedly saw the ball sail over. Courtesy Kohli's fireworks, India completed their highest successful chase with 39 balls to spare.
