Australia v India - Game 4
Kohli was undone by Nathan Coulter-Nile yet again, this time in the 90s

We are so used to seeing Kohli convert his half-centuries to hundreds that a rare mishap hurts like hell. On Thursday at Eden Gardens, Kohli delighted the crowd with a composed, well-articulated knock but fell agonisingly short of a hundred as Nathan Coulter-Nile once again sent him back.

Kohli had a sedate start to his innings before he unfurled some typical classy shots to race to a fine half-century. Although he lost companions on the way, Kohli seemed poised to notch up his 31st hundred. But Coulter-Nile had other ideas as he found reverse swing to force an inside edge off the Indian captain's bat that uprooted the stumps.
