Virat Kohli's exceptional record in Australian cricket is well-documented. In his 13 Test matches on Australian soil he has scored 1352 runs at an impressive average of 54.08 including six centuries and four half-centuries.

Interestingly Kohli's most cherished innings came in a losing cause. His remarkable 123-run performance in Perth during the 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy which included 13 boundaries and one six stands as his finest achievement in Australia.

The Perth cricket ground renowned for being the world's quickest and most bouncy pitch presents significant challenges for batsmen. This context makes Kohli's high regard for his performance at this venue quite understandable.

My best knock in Australia will definitely be my 100 at Perth. 2018-19 series we played. I thought that was the toughest pitch I played on in Test cricket. It was great to get a hundred on this tour," Kohli said in a video

Despite Kohli's brilliant century India suffered a 146-run defeat in the match.

The series saw India captained by Kohli secure victory in the first test by 31 runs followed by the Perth loss.

They bounced back to win by 137 runs in Melbourne and draw in Sydney clinching the four-match series 2-1.

This victory marked India's first-ever Test series win on Australian territory.
