Virat Kohli Centuries: Top 5 tons hit by the Indian Captain Overseas

#4) 141 vs. Australia, 1st Test-Border Gavaskar Trophy at Adelaide, December 2014

Australia v India - 4th Test: Day 3

It was Virat Kohli's 1st Test as a captain. MS Dhoni was injured and Kohli had been handed over the captaincy duties. He had already scored a classy 115 in the first innings to propel India to a score of 444 in reply to Australia's first innings total of 517/7d.

The Australians declared their second innings on 290/5 giving India a target of 364 runs to chase. Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli had led India to a comfortable position as they were on 242/2 after 69 overs despite losing their first two wickets for 57 runs.

With about 21 overs left in the match and 122 runs to win, a draw looked like the most possible outcome. However, Vijay departed for 99 and things changed. One wicket started falling after another. Meanwhile, Kohli decided to push for a win and went into the aggressive mode. However, no one after Vijay was able to provide him the support at the other end.

Kohli had given the Australians the scare of their life as he was on a rampage. India were 70 runs away from the victory with 9 overs to play and Kohli was finally dismissed. A scintillating knock of 141 (175) consisting of 16 fours and one six had finally come to an end.

India soon collapsed for 315 runs and Australia won by 48 runs. Despite that loss, Kohli's innings will be remembered as the best by an Indian batsman in Australia.
