5 Test hundreds by Virat Kohli in a losing cause

#2 116 against Australia at Adelaide in 2012

Batting first, Australia posted a mammoth score of 604 runs on the board, thanks to double centuries from Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke. India had a poor start with the bat as it lost 4 wickets for just 87 runs. In came Virat Kohli.

The Delhi lad had a point to prove as he had not registered a single 3-digit score in Tests till then. Kohli combined for a 114-run stand with wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha and played with a perfect mix of control and aggression and went on to score his maiden century.

His 116 was the lone highlight for India in the Test match as it lost the match by a massive margin of 298 runs.
