When it comes to chasing totals in limited overs cricket, no one in the history of this game can match the achievements of Virat Kohli. He continued his incredible record while chasing by notching up yet another century in the second innings.

The inning was a typical Virat Kohli knock as he found the gaps with utmost ease and also made life easy for Dhoni at the other end as he took a few balls to settle.

Once he got to his half-century, he started accelerating in a controlled manner and got to his century by pushing a slow delivery to midwicket. But the extremely hot conditions at the Adelaide Oval troubled Kohli as he looked tired during the latter part of his innings.

The fatigue finally got to him as he departed while trying to play a flick and holed out to Richardson at deep midwicket. This was a controlled knock from Kohli and paved the way for India’s victory.
