5 most memorable innings from Virat Kohli

#2 141 against Australia, Adelaide, 2014

Kohli is distraught after his dismissal

Batting fourth on the last day of a test match is not everyone's cup of tea. To add on this, Nathan Lyon was spinning the ball drastically at Adelaide. Moreover, Kohli had the added responsibility of leading the team and was brave enough to go for a target of 364 on Day 5. Under such circumstances and with many questions to answer about his technique which was totally exposed against the moving ball in England, he allowed his bat to do the talking and played one of the finest Test knocks you will ever see after having already scored a century in the first innings.

It would have been even more special if his innings was good enough for an Indian win but the middle order couldn't resist the might of Lyon and pressure. After Murali Vijay stitched a brilliant partnership with Kohli, no one supported the captain. India's hope for the victory was shattered when Kohli miscued a pull of Lyon. Eventually Kohli sweep-studded masterclass went in vain as Aussie won by 48 runs.
