256 Runs scored by Virat Kohli in this Test (115 and 141), the most by any player on captaincy debut. The previous record was held by New Zealand's Graham Dowling, who scored 244 runs (239 and 5) against India in Christchurch in 1968. 53 Years since an overseas batsman scored two hundreds in a Test in Australia. The last batsmen to do this was Rohan Kanhai, in 1961, in Adelaide. 2 Number captains who have scored two hundreds in a Test on captaincy debut, with Kohli being the first batsmen to do it in an overseas Test. The only other player to do this was Greg Chappell in Brisbane in 1975. -Cricinfo

Ravi Shastri has rated Kohli's 141 as the best 4 th innings knock he has ever seen in his long association with cricket. I mean trying to chase down 364 , on a fifth day pitch, ball turning and jumping..with the help of only one more batter ....it is phenomenal. Kohli has showed his class and fighting spirit. Somehow, playing on difficult turning tracks seem to carry less weight than medium difficulty pace - friendly tracks....Very strange. Vijay's innings was extraordinary too.
