Virat Kohli Centuries: Top 5 tons hit by the Indian Captain Overseas

#3) 169 vs. Australia at Melbourne, 3rd Test Border Gavaskar Trophy, December 2014

It was the third Test of the 4-match series and India were already 2-0 down to the men from Down Under. Australia had raised another mammoth total of 530 batting first. India were again left with the task of playing the catch up game. And they did so in style with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane leading the way. From 147/3 the duo took India's score to 409 runs.

Kohli was magnificent in particular giving the Aussie bowlers a torrid time once again. He smashed them to all parts of the ground and left them thinking. Rahane did the same thing at the other end as well. However, it was Kohli's intimidating character and aggressive attitude that made the difference.

The partnership came to an end with Rahane's dismissal for 141. However, Kohli carried on with wickets tumbling at the other end again. He lost his wicket on 169 runs, with India's score reading 462/8. India collapsed soon for 465 runs. The match was ultimately drawn, with Kohli scoring 54 in the second innings too.
