With his 81st international ton, Kohli continues his chase of Tendulkar’s unparalleled record of 100 international centuries. Across 119 Test matches, Kohli has amassed 9,145 runs at an average of 48.13, with 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries, including a career-best score of 254 not out.

Virat Kohli silenced his critics with a magnificent century on Day 3 of the first Test against Australia in Perth, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record for most Test hundreds by an Indian batter in Australia.
