India captain Virat Kohli completed his 20th Test fifty on Day 2 of the second Test against Australia at the Perth Stadium with a boundary off Pat Cummins.
It was not easy when he walked out to bat at his No. 4 position as India was reeling at 8/2 after losing both their openers and Australia was on the top after scoring 326 runs in the first innings.
Kohli took his time, left balls and also scored as and when he got the opportunity.
After two ordinary outings in Adelaide, there was some pressure on Kohli but the world number one showed why he is rated so high with a glorious on-drive.

He kept flicking and driving Australia’s pace bowlers in such tough conditions with an ease that it looked like the 30-year-old was batting on a road and not on the fiery Perth pitch.
