Virat Kohli is tallent crickter.



Resuming Day 3 at 87/4, Team India had their backs against the wall. However, the pair of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni saved the home team from a potentially dire situation. The duo added 198 runs during their marathon partnership that spanned well over two sessions. During this stand, Kohli brought up his third Test hundred, which also happens to be his longest Test innings so far. The young Delhi lad, who scored 103 invaluable runs, also went past Australian skipper Michael Clarke as the highest run aggregator in international cricket for the ongoing calendar year.






Virat Kohli (103) scored his third Test hundred in his 14th Test – his first against England. Kohli’s previous highest against England was a paltry 20 at Kolkata.

Kohli’s 295-ball innings is his longest in Test cricket. He had faced 213 balls for his career-best 116 against Australia at Adelaide in January 2012.
This hundred was Kohli’s eighth in international cricket in 2012. All other Indians have a combined tally of eight!
Kohli has now aggregated most runs in international cricket in 2012. He went ahead of Australia’s Michael Clarke’s tally of 2088 runs.
