#3 119 & 96 vs South Africa at Johannesburg, 2013

After Sachin Tendulkar's retirement in 2013, India took on the tough test of touring South Africa. That was when Kohli first took on the responsibility of batting at the No. 4 position in Tests.

In his very first innings at No. 4, on a quick Day 1 Johannesburg wicket, he scored a stroke-filled 119 against the likes of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander. Even in the second innings, he hit a delightful 96 to permanently grab the No. 4 spot in the Indian Test team.
