Virat Kohli's top 5 innings in 2017

#4 104 vs Sri Lanka at Kolkata

Sri Lankan Cricket Team visited India in November 2017, for a three-game Test series. The first Test happened in Kolkata. Sri Lanka who won the toss chose to put the home team into bat first. India were dismissed for 172, thanks to Lakmal's 4/26. Virat Kohli was dismissed for 0 after facing 11 deliveries.

Sri Lanka then went on to score 294 in its first innings and managed to get a lead of 122 runs in the first innings. India then came to bat in their second innings and after a strong start from Dhawan and KL Rahul, lost both of its openers in quick successions. Kohli then posted a century and remained not out on 104. He stayed like a rock and helped India give a decent target of 231 to Sri Lanka.

While wickets kept tumbling at one end, Kohli was the only player that performed and it was the first time in his career that he got out for duck and scored a century in the same game.

Indian bowlers then bowled really well and the match ended in a draw when Sri Lanka were struggling at 75-7, behind Bhuvaneswar Kumar's 4/8. Though India did not win this game, Kohli's innings sent a statement that he is always looking to bounce back and a duck cannot lower his confidence or stop him from going for a century in the very next innings.
