Indian players with most matches against a single team

3. Virat Kohli [100 vs Australia (28 Tests, 49 ODIs, 23 T20Is)]

Ace Indian cricketer, Virat Kohli, has generally been the source of buzz surrounding any contest against Australia. His track record proves the hype. Kohli against Australia in Australia in the red-ball format has always emitted a different aura from him. From a brash youngster who was fined for indecent conduct on his very first tour Down Under to bossing the conditions over time, averaging a remarkable 52.67 in conditions most Indians have found challenging to counter, Kohli has come a long way.

Kohli's ODI performances against Australia have been quite up to the mark as well. Not once, but twice has he scored consecutive tons against the Aussies in his career up until now. Kohli strike rate and average against Australia in the shortest format has been more than those in his entire T20I career, as of now.  One of the most iconic knocks in the history of the T20 World Cup was played by the dynamic batter in Mohali in 2016. It was when Kohli single-handedly motored India to a Super 10 win against Australia, scoring a scintillating unbeaten 82 off 51 deliveries.
