Virat Kohli

Second on our list is Virat Kohli. The Indian Captain enjoys a special affection towards the Adelaide Oval. Virat Kohli has performed exceptionally well at the venue in all the formats of the game with the bat. He enjoyed some success as captain too.

He scored his first hundred in the longest format of the game in 2012 at the Adelaide Oval and thereby cemented his spot in the test team. In the fourth Test, Virat scored 116 in what was the final Test of a disastrous tour as India was whitewashed in the four-match series.

When he returned to the venue after three years, Kohli was the stand-in Captain of the team. He scored tons in both the innings of the Test match but India fell 48 runs short of a memorable victory.

In the first match of the ongoing series in Australia, Kohli led the team to a famous victory. Also, in India’s first match at the ICC World Cup 2015, Kohli scored a century against Pakistan in Adelaide and was the architect of India's victory. In 2016 T20I series when India whitewashed Australia, he scored an unbeaten knock of 90 at Adelaide in the first game of the series.
