5 most memorable innings from Virat Kohli

#5 119 against South Africa, Johannesburg, 2013

If a player has not played any Test in South Africa and New Zealand and just one series in Australia, he is expected to take time to get used to the swing and extra bounce in such conditions. And if the opposition has world-class bowlers like Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander, Morne Morkel and experienced Jacques Kallis in the attack, one can think of only hard times ahead.

That was not supposed to be the case for a master batsman like Kohli. On the first day of his first Test match in South Africa, he made his presence felt as he scripted a famous ton on a pacy Wanderers wicket. The importance of the this innings can be gauged from the fact that India just scored 280 runs and except Ajinkya Rahane, no other player could cross the 25-run mark. Kohli dominated the Proteas throughout his stay and India collapsed shortly after his wicket fell.
