Despite wickets falling all around him, Kohli kept his cool and batted with great composure to reach the three-figure mark.
This was Virat Kohli's 21st Test century and it was one that the Indian captain would cherish for a long time, as he beat his idol Sachin Tendulkar to the mark.
Virat Kohli is now the fourth fastest batsman to reach the 21-century mark in Test cricket, reaching the milestone in 109 innings
Sachin Tendulkar has now been relegated to the fifth position, having taken 110 innings to reach the mark.
Australian captain and run machine Steven Smith is the third fastest, having taken 105 innings to score 21 Test tons. Former Indian batting great Sunil Gavaskar is second on the list, while the great Aussie Don Bradman tops the list, having taken only 56 innings to reach the mark.
