Perth, December 16 :

 In Cricket, Indian skipper Virat Kohli has became the second fastest to score 25 Test centuries, only behind Sir Don Bradman. He achieved the feat when he scored 123 on the third day of the Perth Test against Australia Sunday.

It was also India’s first Test ton in Perth since Sachin Tendulkar’s famous knock in 1992. Kohli also equalled Tendulkar’s record of most Test tons by an Indian – that is six – in Australia.

Replying to Australia’s first innings score of 326, India had resumed play this morning at the overnight score of 172 for 3, with Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. The visitors were later bundled out for 283. Spinner Nathan Lyon bagged 5 wickets.

When reports last came in, Australia were 96 for 3 in the second innings, having an overall lead of 139 runs.

This is the second Test of the 4-match series. India is leading the series, 1-0.
