India Cricket captain Virat Kohli reckons the secret to success on Australian soil is all above the shoulders.
Kohli's supreme record in often unforgiving conditions in Australia, where he averages 58.45 and has scored six centuries, has reinforced his status as a modern‑day great.
The Indian skipper's masterful first‑innings century in Perth wasn't enough to prevent Australia from levelling the series but it was another reminder that for all of his technical ability, Kohli's greatest asset may be his mental fortitude.
When Kohli strode to the crease at Perth Stadium, India were 2‑8 and at risk of falling to pieces against a fearsome Australian attack on a lively deck.
By the time he departed, India were 6‑251 and back in the game.
The second match for the third test between Australia and India will begin at 12.30pm today.
