India vs Australia, 2nd Test: Virat Kohli scored his 25th Test century on Sunday. He became the first batsman to hit a century at the new Perth stadium.
Kohli, batting on 82 at stumps on Saturday, completed his hundred with a beautiful looking push down the track. It has been important innings as Kohli came to bat with India reeling at 8 for 2.
Kohli has stitched three important partnerships since then adding 74 runs with Pujara, 91 with Rahane and 50 with Vihari.
With this innings Kohli also completed 1000 runs outside Asia in 2018. He also went past Sachin Tendulkar for the highest Test average in SENA (South Afric, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries.

This is Virat Kohli's 6 century in Australia. The only other India to hit six centuries in Australia is Sachin Tendulkar.
