Captain Virat Kohli scored a masterful 25th hundred and helped India to 252 for seven at lunch on day three of the third Test against Australia on Sunday. In doing so, Kohli took India past 200 in the 80th over, and then reached his hundred off 214 balls. This was also his 34th hundred as Indian skipper across formats, second only to Ricky Ponting's 41 centuries as Australian captain. But Kohli fell before lunch, edging Pat Cummins (1-54) to second slip where Peter Handscomb just got his fingers under the ball. India had won the first Test in Adelaide by 31 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
