Kohli has five centuries at the Adelaide Oval, most by a visiting batter. There is no other venue where the former Indian captain has made as many tons.
On November 10, the 34-year-old continued his fine run at the Adelaide Oval with a half-century. Kohli came out to bat when India lost KL Rahul early in the first innings. He scored 50 runs in 40 balls with four fours and one six before giving his catch to Adil Rashid on Chris Jordan’s ball in the 18th over.
Kohli has been at his best on this ground not just in T20Is, but in ODIs and Tests as well. In the 10 games he has played in Adelaide, he has amassed 893 runs. He has scored two hundreds in his four ODIs, scoring a total of 244 runs. In Tests, he has smashed 509 runs in four Tests, which also includes three centuries and one fifty.
