Indian batter Virat Kohli has certainly played one of his best cricket in Australia. The latter has showcased brilliant skills on one of the most tough surfaces in the world. His most remembered performance on the Australian soil came in 2014-15 when he amassed 694 runs from four matches which included four hundreds. There hasn’t been any ground in Australia where Virat hasn’t hit a century in international cricket apart from Brisbane. The latter will be playing on one of his favourite venues in the world from December 6. The venue will be none other than Adelaide Oval where the former Indian skipper has slammed five international hundreds.

Why Is Adelaide Oval Special For Virat Kohli?
Virat Kohli has had many sweet memories at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. Kohli smashed his maiden Test hundred back in 2012 followed by back to back tons in both innings in 2014. Also, the former Indian skipper ended up reaching the three-figure mark in the high profile India vs Pakistan clash during the ODI World Cup 2015.
Virat Kohli played his last Test match in Adelaide back in 2020, wherein he scored 76 runs during the first innings. The latter has looked in decent touch as of now and will look forward to deliver the same performance in the second Test match as well. Kohli will be chasing down many records yet again which includes Sir Donald Bradman’s record of slamming most hundreds in any overseas country. Virat has smashed 10 international in Australia and is just one ton away from levelling Bradman’s feat of 11 hundreds in any visiting country. Sir Don Bradman has hit 11 international tons in England.
