Virat Kohli's five best innings in Test cricket

Virat Kohli informed the BCCI that he is done with Test cricket and he will be unlikely to be available for the upcoming tour of England for five Tests.

Virat Kohli is arguably the best captain to lead India in Tests. Under his leadership the Men in Blue registered their first ever win in Australia. Here are Kohli's top five Test knocks:

115 vs Australia, 2014 Adelaide

Kohli played an aggressive knock of 115 runs in the first Test against Australia and steadied India's ship in pursuit of a mammoth total of 444.

141 vs Australia, Adelaide 2014

The opportunity again presented itself in the second innings of the same match when India were chasing a stiff target of 364 runs. Virat Kohli yet again rose to the occasion and cracked a brilliant 141-run knock in India's losing cause.

169 vs Australia, Melbourne 2014

Virat Kohli continued his good form in that particular series with another ton in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne in pursuit of Australia's gigantic score of 530 runs. Although the match ended in a draw, Kohli earned the praise of the Australian media and fans.

147 vs Australia, Sydney 2015

The New Year's Test against Australia was Kohli's first assignment as India's full-time test captain, and the right-hander led from the front with a valiant innings of 147 runs.

254 not out vs South Africa, Pune, 2019

Virat Kohli's highest individual score in Test cricket is an impressive 254 runs, recorded not out. This commanding innings also marked his seventh double century in the longest format of the game. The monumental score was achieved in a Test match played against South Africa in Pune during October 2019, where the right-handed batsman played what was described as a captain's knock, compiling his 254 runs off 336 deliveries.
