India and Australia are facing each other in the 3rd test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.
India opted to bat first at the Holkar Cricket Stadium but nothing went the hosts’ way as the Aussie spinners starred on Day 1. Team India got all out at just 109 runs in 33.2 overs.
However, Kohli, who scored 25000 International runs in the 2nd Test in Delhi, has now joined another elite list of star Indian cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni. The former Indian captain has become the third Indian cricketer to play 200 International matches at his home. Kohli is playing his 492nd International match across formats and this is his 200th at home.
