Kohli, Dhoni hit tons, India 403 for 7

?

Chennai: Virat Kohli smashed his fourth Test hundred, while skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit his sixth as India reached 403 for seven post tea session on the third day of the first cricket Test against Australia here on Sunday.

In reply to Australia?s 380 all out, India put themselves in a good position with Kohli?s patient 107 and Dhoni still playing at 121 not out from 145 balls.

Also notable was the magnificent half-century by Sachin Tendulkar (81).

At the break, Dhoni was holding fort with R Ashwin (3) giving him company.

India scored at a decent pace to be 263 for four at lunch, but after the break, the innings accelerated with Kohli and Dhoni breaking free against an attack that never looked very threatening.

Kohli eventually fell to Nathan Lyon, who was rewarded for his perseverance after grabbing Tendulkar?s wicket in the morning session.

However, the breakthrough came only after Kohli and Dhoni had put on 128 runs for the fifth wicket and that too at rapid a pace.
