IND vs AUS: Star India duo Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli faced each other at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday. Kohli, who smashed a match-winning hundred in the series opener of the ongoing series against Australia, was seen smashing an on-drive to Bumrah, who aimed to hit directly towards Kohli's stumps.
Bumrah led the team from the front when India thrashed Australia by 295 runs in Perth. He had taken eight wickets in the first match and thus rattled Australia's batting lineup during both the innings. It was his first Test win as India's skipper.

Virat Kohli lights up Perth
India's star batter Virat Kohli was at his absolute best during the series opener in Perth, where he scored his 30th Test century. With the help of his match-winning knock, the visitors posted a mammoth target of 534 runs.
Virat Kohli is on the verge of breaking Don Bradman's record when they lock horns with Australia for the day-night Test match. Bradman currently has the record of scoring the most international centuries as he smashed 11 hundreds after playing in 19 matches in England between 1930 and 1948.
Kohli, on the other hand, has scored 10 hundreds after playing in 43 matches in Australia since 2011. Jack Hobbs (9 centuries in Australia), Sachin Tendulkar (9 centuries in Sri Lanka), Sir Vivian Richards (8 centuries in England) and Sunil Gavaskar (7 centuries in West Indies) are also a part of this elite list.
After playing in 43 matches Down Under, Kohli had smashed 2710 runs at an average of 54.20, where his highest individual score was 169 runs way back in December 2014 at MCG.
