#3 King Kohli’s heroics at the Adelaide

Kohli played as if he was ‘possessed’ which gave the team a ton of confidence that they could chase this down

It was the first test in Adelaide and India had to chase 350+ in the fourth innings. We had a new captain who had scored a magnificent 115 in the first innings and had a task in hand.

Dhawan fell for 9 while Pujara got back to the pavilion scoring just 21. Kohli walked in at 57 for 2 and this was the time for him to prove his mettle. He got along with Vijay and built a 185 run stand for the third wicket.

Kohli played as if he was ‘possessed’ which gave the team a ton of confidence that they could chase this down.

At 242 for 2, everyone had picked India but Lyon turned the game for the hosts while Virat stood at the other end.

It was a brave effort by the captain who scored all around the park with 16 fours and a maximum before sweeping it straight to the square leg fielder. After a dismal performance in England, this innings set the platform for Kohli to lead from the front.
