Top 5 Test wins under Virat Kohli

#3 Beat Australia by 75 runs at Bengaluru, 2017

Having lost the opening Test of the home series by 333 runs against what was touted as the weakest touring Australian side, India were in all sorts of trouble in the second Test match as well.

While it was the unbeknownst wreckage by Steve O'Keefe at Pune, it was the prowling Nathan Lyon whose heroic eight-for sent the hosts crashing for their third straight sub 200 total of the series.

It was once again a dogged Ravindra Jadeja who rose up to India's rescue, but Matt Renshaw, Shaun Marsh and Mitchell Starc had all stayed out long enough to give the Aussies an 87 run lead.

Despite a strong start by KL Rahul, India were effectively 4/33, their captain dismissed, a pinch hitter experiment failed, and the pitch playing a thousand tricks, albeit less on the ball and more on the batsmen's minds.

It was then that Rahane and Pujara battled for two wicket-less sessions that sucked the spirit out of the previously blood hounding Australians. Their partnership drew comparisons with the Dravid-Laxman epic, and while shorter on runs it was massively in proportion in terms of skill.

At 3/74, chasing 188, it seemed only a matter of one good session that Australia would win the Test, but Kohli brought on Umesh Yadav whose skidding delivery got the better of the invincible Steve Smith. India then went on another relentless spree and took the final six wickets for just 38 runs to complete a remarkable turn around.
