153, Centurion, 2018
India had come into the three-match Test series in South Africa in January 2018 with lots of hopes of doing. However, they were defeated in the first Test match but were looking to bounce back in the second match at Centurion.
South Africa had batted first and made 335 runs in the 1st innings with Hashim Amla top-scoring with 82. R Ashwin picked four wickets, while Ishant picked three. India replied in kind with 307 runs, but the innings of the match came from Virat Kohli, who played a lone hand of 153 runs with 15 fours. The next best score was 46 from M Vijay. Kohli’s innings was full of amazing shots on a pitch where other batsmen struggled to get going.
