#1 160* (159) vs. South Africa, Cape Town (2018)

And here is the surprise, #1 knock of Virat Kohli.
Being an overseas player, the sort of dominance showed by Virat during the tour of South Africa was the difference between the two teams. During this scintillating knock, the battle between Virat Kohli and Kagiso Rabada was a visual treat for the cricket community.
Surviving initial scare with a faint inside edge, thanks to snicko (DRS system), Virat battled throughout the entire innings scoring a vital 160* to get an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. With 558 runs in the series, Virat holds the record for Most runs by a Player in a Bi-lateral series with 3 Centuries in the tour.
