5 times where Virat Kohli’s Centuries were the winning cause

#1 183 vs Pakistan at Dhaka, Asia Cup, 5th match - March 2012

Kohli scored a memorable 183 against Pakistan

It is always something special for an Indian batsman when he performs well against arch-rivals Pakistan. And Virat Kohli not only did that, he also notched up his highest ever ODI score of 183 against them in the Asia Cup at Dhaka in 2012. It was the fifth match of the tournament and Pakistan had scored 329/6 batting first, riding on centuries from Mohammad Hafeez and Nasir Jamshed.

A chase of 330 was never going to be that easy. However, Kohli made that look like a cakewalk with his scintillating knock. He hammered all the Pakistani bowlers around the park. Wahab Riaz's bowling figures were the worst among the Pakistani bowlers. He ended up with dismal figures of 50 runs in 4 overs without any success to his name.

India were just 12 runs short of their target when Kohli departed for a memorable knock of 183 (148). The rest of the batsmen finished the job and India won the match by 6 wickets and 13 deliveries to spare.
