Yeah but Bishoo took 8 for 49 in the innings before that.

Kohli's Adelaide innings is one of the most overrated ever. Played on a feather bed and only possible because the opposition declared twice having lost 12 wickets for the match. His first innings in the same test was more significant, if anything. Made the game competitive.

Nah, ball was spinning like crazy for Lyon on the final day. Imagine him getting 12 wickets.

No disrespect to the other two, but Bravo saved a Test match out of nowhere (yes rain helped but without the innings that wouldn't have mattered) and regardless of whether the match was declaration affected, a Day 5 knock where the side nearly pulled off a large chase is very impressive.

QdK was naturally very good and on a bowler-friendly pitch, but IIRC the pitch had lost a fair bit of sting at that point and South Africa were ahead by a reasonable margin. Kohli at Mumbai not quite in the same league though it's better than some that have passed through already.

Cricbuzz app says he was born 24th March 1986

 

[indiaholic]

Wiki has it at 24 March 1987. Comes from a former part of Pakistan. Bound to be some discrepancies.
