Top 5 Test innings by Indian batsmen in the last decade

Virat Kohli (123 vs Australia, Perth, 2018)

The century at Perth is the finest of Virat Kohli's career

Mention Perth and a shiver runs down the spine of Indian fans and several batsmen also. Yes, India did register a famous win against Australia there in 2008 but the city remains a great citadel for the Australian team and one very hard to conquer for other sides.

It was at the WACA stadium that Sachin Tendulkar proved his greatness by scoring a stunning century at the age of 18 in 1992 and it was here in 2018 that Virat Kohli scored the best hundred of his career.

This match was played not in the famous WACA ground but in the new stadium of the city. However, the pitch at the new venue also possesses the pace and bounce that made the original venue so friendly to fast bowlers.

Against a very potent attack of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, Kohli showed what a grand player he has become by overcoming all the odds and scoring a majestic hundred. The next highest score in the innings was 51 and the one after that 36.

The Australians couldn’t ruffle Kohli and he was too good to have any problems dealing with the pace and bounce of the wicket. Another majestic innings from the great batsman.
