#11 - 211 vs New Zealand at Indore, 2016

This innings of Kohli's stands out because of the domination and patience showed by him, who was joined by Ajinkya Rahane for most of it. Walking in a 60-2 and joined by Rahane at 100-3, Kohli batted for over 500 minutes to wear down a quality New Zealand bowling attack and eventually dominate.
Coming off the back of a poor run of scores after his double hundred and being constantly asked about in the media, Kohli would have been determined to put up a big score. Thus, he shelved his usually attacking game and showed real hunger and determination to accumulate so many runs and prove his critics wrong, yet again.
