India captain Virat Kohli hit his 39th ODI hundred as India took complete control of the chase against Australia at Adelaide on Tuesday.
Kohli, 30, reached the landmark with a double off the first ball of the 43rd over, bowled by Peter Siddle.
Chasing a stiff target of 299 runs, Indian innings never witnessed a slump once the openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma provided a good foundation.
Kohli's dominating precense in the centre means that India have the added advantage in the must-win game. But he got out after scoring 104 runs off 114 balls at the score of 242 in the 43.4 overs.
In the process, the right-handed batsman achieved some amazing feats. Here is a look:
- Joint-most centuries for a visiting batsman, alongside Kumar Sangakkara and Rohit Sharma
- Record-extending most hundreds in chase @ 24. Second is 17 by Sachin Tendulkar
- Sixth century against Australia
- 64th International hundred
- Most hundred since 2017 (13 in 42 innings). Rohit Sharma has 12 equal number of innings
- Fifth century at Adelaide Oval in all formats (116, 115 and 141 in Test; 107 and 104 in ODIs). His highest T20I score at the venue is an unbeaten 90.
