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

#2) 133* vs. Sri Lanka at Hobart, Commonwealth Bank Series, February 2012

This was the first time that Virat Kohli was given the epithet of 'Chase master'. Sri Lanka had made their way to a massive 320/4 riding on centuries from Tilakeratne Dillman (160) and Kumar Sangakkara (105). India were left with a daunting task on a Hobart pitch.

However, the top order responded aggressively and India were on 86/2 around the 10th over. Then arrived Virat Kohli at the crease. He and Gautam Gambhir combined together to take India's score to 201 in the 27th over. The partnership came to an end with Gambhir's (63) run out. However, Kohli went on a rampage afterwards along with Suresh Raina.

They took Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Kulashekara and Thisara Perera to the cleaners. They scored the remaining 119 runs in a space of 9 overs and Kohli had contributed the majority of that with Raina scoring 40* (24).

Kohli remained unbeaten on 133 off 86 deliveries with 16 fours and two sixes to his name. India won the match by 7 wickets and 80 deliveries to spare.
