This innings, which came early on in Kohli's Test career - at a time when he still was frequently pigeonholed as a limited-overs only player. Coming in at 67-3, which soon became 80-4, Kohli had to deal with the team being in a difficult situation and had to lead the charge to recovery.

He was able to forge two key partnerships, first with Suresh Raina and then with MS Dhoni, to carry India to a respectable total 353, trailing only by 12. This century, Kohli's first at home, was the first of many efforts where he helped his team get out of an extreme spot of bother.
