Other venues where Kohli has been prolific are the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai (433 runs), Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad (379) and the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur (354).Â
Adelaide is the only overseas venue among the top five.Â
Kohli got his maiden Test century at Adelaide back in 2012 before hitting centuries in both innings of the 2014 Test.Â
While he managed scores of 3 and 34 at the South Australian ground on India's 2018-19 tour, Kohli looked set for another hundred on Thursday before a mix-up with Ajinkya Rahane resulted in his run out in the third session.Â
Kohli's scores in Adelaide now read 116, 22, 115, 141, 3, 34 and 74 and he averages a majestic 72.14.
