Virat Kohli scored 74 in the first innings of the first Test in Adelaide but it was a forgettable Test for him as a skipper as India was bundled out for 36 in the second innings to end up losing the Test match by 8 wickets. After that Virat Kohli went on a paternity leave but in his absence India turned around the series winning it 2-1 under Ajinkya Rahane.
