#2 India vs Australia, The Adelaide Oval, 2014
With MS Dhoni forced to sit out due to an injury, Virat Kohli captained the Indian side for the first time. Australia batted first after Michael Clarke won the toss, and piled a mammoth 517/7 on the board, with David Warner, Steve Smith and Michael Clarke notching hundreds.
India, in reply, fought back with a score of 444, with Virat Kohli scoring a glamorous hundred on captaincy debut. Nathan Lyon claimed a 5-wicket haul, running through the middle order David Warner scored another hundred in the second innings, and Australia declared their innings and the end of the fourth day, leaving 364 runs for India to chase on the final day.
At a point where almost every other captain would have played for a draw, Virat Kohli decided to go after the target, and led from the front with a valiant 141. Nathan Lyon claimed 7 wickets to add to his previous 5-wicket haul, annihilating the middle order. But Kohli stayed rock solid on one end amidst crisis. However, just when victory seemed inevitable for the visitors, calamity struck in the form of Kohli's wicket. India needed to survive 8 overs for a draw, but lost the remaining 3 wickets in a space of 5 overs and 11 runs, resulting in a disheartening loss for the Indians by 48 runs.
