Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been a huge fan of the longer format of the game. Leading the Men in Blue in the World Test Championship, Team India are currently sitting at the top with 360 with Australia following on with 296 points.

Talking about the two sides, Kohli in his Instagram post recalled the 2014 Adelaide Test which India went on to lose. In the post, the captain said that despite losing the match, it will always remain an important milestone in our journey of the test side.

He captioned it saying, "Throwback to this very special and important test in our journey as the test team that we are today. Adelaide 2014 was a game filled with emotion on both sides and an amazing one for people to watch too.

"Although we didn't cross the line being so close, it taught us that anything is possible if we put our mind to it because we committed to doing something which seemed very difficult, to begin with but almost pulled it off. All of us committed to it. This will always remain a very important milestone in our journey as a test side".

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When it comes to the match, the Aussies were riding on centuries from David Warner, Michael Clarke, and Steve Smith.

Australia surged to 517 before the first overnight declaration and the Indian bowling lacked teeth in the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravi Ashwin.

Kohli led India's strong reply with an exquisite 115 allied to supporting acts from Cheteshwar Pujara (73), Murali Vijay(53) and Ajinkya Rahane(62).

Kohli in the post-press conference said, "I cannot comment on my performance right now. I am really proud of the boys, we took the game till the last day and last hour. The performances of individuals are different, I would have been happy if my hundreds had come in a winning cause.

"I am pretty one dimensional, I know (regarding his positive mindset). Before the boys went to their rooms last night, I told them that whatever happened has happened, we have to go after the target. They did that, we fell short but I am really proud of the effort".
