Kohli came out to bat after Shubman Gill (6). Gill started as an opener but his knock as a No. 3 batter did not go as planned.

However, when Kohli reached 25, he did reach a landmark. He became the fifth-highest run-scorer for India in Tests and surpassed the legendary Virender Sehwag as well. The 34-year-old is behind Sachin Tendulkar (15, 921), Rahul Dravid (13, 265), Sunil Gavaskar (10,122), and VVS Laxman (8,781).

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the debutant, stole the show when he smashed his ton. He will open Day 3 from his 143* runs and is on the verge of scoring 150 as well as a double century.

India have bundled out the hosts for a mere 150 runs. Jaiswal’s century and captain Rohit Sharma‘s 103 runs took helped India reach a formidable 312/2 on Day 2.
