Ranking all of Virat Kohli's 24 Test centuries

#6 - 119 vs South Africa at Johannesburg, 2014

One of Virat Kohli's career-defining innings, undoubtedly. Having come against a fast-bowling attack which consisted of Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander, and Morne Morkel all at the peak of their prowess, this innings secured Virat Kohli's status as a genuinely world-class player.

Coming in to bat at 24-2, Virat Kohli ensured, with almost no support from the other end, that he got India to a respectable total of 280. Besides Virat Kohli's 119, the next two highest scores were 47 and 25, and this innings showed the gulf between Kohli and other batsmen in his generation.

This contribution, along with his 96 in the second innings, set South Africa an astronomical target north of 450 and showed the world that India could compete against the best in the world in any conditions.
