#1 115 & 141 vs Australia at Adelaide in 2014
MS Dhoni missed the first Test of the 2014 Australia tour due to slow-over rate issues in previous matches, and Kohli was handed the captaincy duties. In his very first match as Test captain, on one of the toughest tours for any away team, he scored two back to back hundreds.
Though Kohli was unable to take his side to victory, his level of maturity and match awareness made these two centuries his best in Test cricket. He went on to score two more tons in that series, marking the start of the Kohli Era in Tests.
