#18 - 104* vs Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, 2017
One of Kohli's best innings at home, and certainly his best in the 2017-18 home season, this came in the second innings after India's batting had disintegrated in the first. On green-top seaming conditions in Kolkata, India's batting was wrapped for 172 in the first innings.

In the second innings, once Pujara got out, after the platform had already been set by Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul with a 166-run opening partnership, Kohli walked in to bat, and that too in far, far easier batting conditions.
However, Kohli was running out of partners at the other end (no batsman who came in after him made more than 12). He displayed a masterclass in batting with the tail and farming the strike. In this process, he led India to a India to set Sri Lanka a target 231; however, the match would end in a draw.
