Australian bowlers were of top-notch on day three of the second Test as they skittled Indian National Cricket Team for 283 runs to take a crucial 43 runs lead in the first innings.

Meanwhile, India lost overnight batsman Ajinkya Rahane early in the morning without adding to his personal score. However, Virat Kohli continued from where he left last night. He looked in complete control of things as he put the loose deliveries to the boundary. In doing so, he brought his century to equal Sachin Tendulkar’s record of six centuries in Australia. Starting on 82 runs, Kohli reached the milestone within five overs of the day’s play.

On reaching his 25th Test century, Kohli indicated that he wants his bat do the talking for him. Interestingly, Virat Kohli is also the fastest Indian to score 1,000 Test runs on Australian soil in just 18 innings. Overall, among visitors, only four Englishmen have done it quicker than Kohli in Australia.
