Virat Kohli Records at Adelaide Ahead of India vs Australia, 1st Test Match 2020: Runs Scored, Matches Played and Centuries Hit by Team India Captain

India will play their first Test match since February, and skipper Virat Kohli will be their player to watch out for. Although the talismanic batsman has played many impressive knocks this year, he hasn’t matched his standards as he’s yet to score a hundred in 2020. The opening Test match against Australia will be his last opportunity to score a ton this year as he’ll miss the remaining three Test matches due to the birth of his first child. Fortunately, however, the opening Test – which will be a Day-Night match – will be played at the Adelaide Oval where Kohli loves to perform. India vs Australia 1st Test 2020 Preview.

Well, that’s not it as in the 2018/19 series, Kohli registered his first Test victory on Aussie soil while leading the troop.
