Virat Kohli on Sunday became the second fastest to 25 Test centuries with his sixth ton in Australia, joining boyhood hero Sachin Tendulkar, and celebrated by suggesting he lets his bat do the talking. The 30-year-old Kolhi, however, fell to a controversial catch after leading India’s fightback in the second Test in Perth. Kohli reached his seventh century against Australia in style, playing a classic drive off Mitchell Starc. On reaching the three-figure mark, Kohli removed his helmet and placed it on the green turf at the Optus Stadium. Kohli is also the first Indian skipper to breach the milestone and the third overall captain after Australia’s Bob Simpson and South Africa’s Graeme Smith.
