Virat Kohli missed out on a Test century on Day 2 of the third Test in Melbourne after he was dismissed on 82 by Mitchell Starc. On Wednesday, Virat Kohli surpassed Rahul Dravid to become the highest Indian run-getter in overseas Tests in a calendar. Virat Kohli surpassed Dravid’s 1 137 – scored in 2002 – on the second day of the Melbourne Test as India scored a formidable 443 for 7 declared.
Mohinder Amarnath, who scored 1,065 runs in 1983 and Sunil Gavaskar’s 918 runs in 1971 are the other two top scorers apart from Kohli and Dravid.
Kohli, who already has scored a hundred in the series, has been phenomenal so far in 2018. After scoring his sixth Test century of the year during the Perth Test, Kohli is currently tied with Sachin Tendulkar in terms of most number of Test hundreds in a year.
Kohli was dismissed on 82 in the second session on Day 2 after he was caught at third man, trying to hit the bouncer from Starc for a six.
