India won a tightly-contested opening Test at the Adelaide Oval on the fifth day after setting Australia a target of 323, which would have been a record run chase at the ground.
It was a big breakthrough for the Indian cricket team and Kohli, with their last triumph on Australian soil at the WACA Ground in Perth in 2008. In Adelaide, their sole previous win was in 2003.
The victory was built on Cheteshwar Pujara's first innings 123 and his second innings 71, while wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant took a world record-equalling 11 catches.
The second Test starts on Friday in Perth, with Melbourne and Sydney to follow.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma celebrated their first marriage anniversary with adorable posts for each other on Twitter.
