Resuming the day on 108 for one in response to the hosts' first innings
score of 530, India lost their overnight batsmen early but Kohli (169),
registering his third ton in this series, and Rahane (147) made sure
that their stand is the highest for India in Australia at the MCG for
any wicket.
The visitors ended the day on 462 for eight as they still trail by 68 runs at the end of Day 3. Aided by five dropped catches, India responded well only to lose a bit of a momentum in the end as new-ball bowler Ryan Harris returned with figures of 4-69.
Pace spearhead Mitchell Johnson (1-133), who bled runs through the day, also got Kohli caught behind to get a consolation wicket as umpires called stumps.
Getting into heated exchanges with Johnson at different stages of his innings, Kohli was dropped on 88 by Shane Watson (1-65) at first slip in the 85th over and made full use of the spill.
Kohli, recording his ninth Test ton, mixed the right dose of caution and aggression in his 272-ball stay, his innings laced with 18 boundaries.
