Virat Kohli returned to form with a morale-boosting hundred after Yashasvi Jaiswal's masterful century as India declared their second innings for 487 for six, setting Australia a victory target of 534 on day 3 of the opening Test, on Sunday.
Kohli smashed eight fours and two sixes during his unbeaten 100 off 143 balls, forging a 89-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Washington Sundar (29) and unfinished 77 off 54 balls with Nitesh Reddy (38 not out) to bat Australia out of the match.
