India batter Virat Kohli scaled another historic milestone in his career, becoming the fastest batter to score 25,000 runs in international cricket. He did so on Day 3 of the second Test against Australia in New Delhi. In the process, Kohli surpassed his idol and the Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar, who had reached the landmark in 577 matches. Virat, on the other hand, did so in 549 matches. Following Virat and Sachin are the likes of Ricky Ponting (588), Jacques Kallis (594), Kumar Sangakkara (608) and Mahela Jayawardene (701).
The man who doesn't mind running out batters at the non-striker, Ravichandran Ashwin, looked to catch Australia batter Steve Smith off-guard on Day 3 of the second Test in New Delhi. Ashwin, bowling to Marnus Labuchagne, didn't release the ball during the 15th over of the second innings, leaving the non-striker Smith rattled. While no attempt to run out Smith was made, the entire incident drew an amusing reaction from the Australian batter. Even Virat Kohli, standing in the slip cordon, had a big laugh seeing what happened at the non-striker's end.
Virat Kohli looked very assured at the crease on Day 2 of the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. That was until Kohli (44 off 84 balls) was given LBW off Matthew Kuhnemann in a decision that raised eyebrows. Even Kohli was not happy and was seen fuming in the dressing room. Kohli's wicket fell when India were in a tricky spot in the first innings against Australia. Later, Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel stitched a 100-plus stand to revive India's chances. After the dismissal, Kohli could be seen indulging in an intense discussion with coach Rahul Dravid when a man arrived with food. Kohli looked really happy after that.
Virat Kohli was a frustrated man on Saturday. The former India captain was going great on the second day of the second Test against Australia in Delhi, until a contentious LBW call had him walking back to the pavilion. The former India captain looked solid while wickets kept on falling at the other end, but against Test debutant Matthew Kuhnemann's left-arm spin, Kohli was given out. The bone of contention was whether the ball had hit the bat first or the pads. The on-field umpire gave him out and Kohli went for a DRS.

Virat Kohli Failed To convert a good start into something big as he was dismissed in controversial fashion by the debutant Matthew Kuhnemann on Day 2 of the second Test between India and Australia in New Delhi. Batting on 44, Kohli looked quite comfortable at the crease and when a delivery from the spinner crashed into his pads, he confidently went for the review despite the umpire raising his finger. The replays were inconclusive as it was difficult to figure out whether the ball connected with the bat or the pads. However, the third umpire decided to stick to the on-field umpire's decision. Once he was back in the dressing room, Kohli was seen watching the replays on the screen and along with the coaches, he was also quite unimpressed. However, there was no outburst of emotion from the right-hander.
