The joy of reaching your maiden Test century is the pinnacle for any batsman

An Indian team containing some of their greatest ever batsmen was thoroughly dismantled in Australia during the 2011/12 series. The second and third Tests saw the tourists plummet to embarrassing innings defeats.

In the final Test at Adelaide, the Aussies won the toss and posted over 600 runs in the first innings. India were tottering at 87/4 when Kohli walked into the middle. Countering fire with fire, he responded to the dire straits by scoring his first Test century. Though the hosts wrapped up another comfortable victory, a star was unearthed.
