Top 5 innings played by Indian batsmen against Australia

#4 Virat Kohli- 100* at Jaipur, 2013

It was a freak innings. Nothing else can describe the sensational batting and marvellous stroke play produced by Virat Kohli at that night at Jaipur. Indeed, the pitch was flat, the boundaries were short and bowlers had little help available. But nothing can undermine the magnitude of Kohli's masterclass innings that enabled India to chase 360 runs in 44 overs.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan gave India a sterling start, adding 176 runs in 27 overs. When Kohli arrived at the crease, India was in the driver's seat but the task ahead was daunting.

Soon, Kohli took the center stage and Rohit, who himself scored 141*, played the second fiddle. The characteristic of Kohli's innings was the ease with which he smashed sixes.

During his stay of 52 balls, he slammed seven sixes - most of which were a result of sheer genius or incredible timing. At one stage, he launched the pacers nonchalantly in the arc between extra cover and long-off.

Kohli finished the game after scoring the fastest hundred by an Indian in ODI cricket.
