Virat Kohli has arrived but India lose 1st test match of the series in Adelaide

Virat Kohli has arrived in the test cricket scene with a bang – with a hundred plus in each innings, he matched Greg Chappell's feat of scoring twin hundreds in a Test in his first match as captain. The Australian had achieved it against the West Indies in 1975-76 at Brisbane.
Kohli became only the second player in Test history to score a century in both innings on his debut as captain but his effort went in vain because of the shocking display of inept performance by his other batting colleagues, who seemed bent on committing suicide.
India could have won the 1st test match of the current series in Adelaide, but the Gods willed otherwise – it was Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon who upset the applecart and spoiled the show for India.
Lyon was, undoubtedly, the pick of the Australian bowler as he kept on exploiting the rough on the track to good effect to finish with figures for 7/152 for an overall haul of 12 wickets in the match. He was adjudged Man of the Match for his superlative effort.
It was a match that went on till the last day and, if only the tail enders had kept their cool, the result would have been in India’s favor.
