Having scored his 25th century in 127 innings, Kohli has become the second-fastest cricketer to do so, only behind Sir Donald Bradman.
It was another of those innings where Kohli stood tall on the expectations for the umpteenth time in his career. Coming in to bat at 8-2 in the sixth over, Kohli eased the nerves first up by hitting four boundaries off Australia vice-captain Josh Hazlewood.
