In a highly encapsulating Test affair, India outplayed Australia across all departments to take a commanding position in the series opener.
Before raising the heat in Perth with his 81st international hundred, Kohli went on to eclipse Sachin for most catches completed by Indian fielders in Test format.
After Australia lost youngster Nathan McSweeney for a four-ball duck to Jasprit Bumrah's prowess, skipper Pat Cummins came in as a nightwatchman to see off the day.
He managed to see off a couple of deliveries before Mohammed Siraj forced out an edge to Kohli, who stood at the second slip. With a successful catch, Kohli added another feather to his cap.
He has 116 catches in Test cricket, one more than India's 'God of Cricket' Sachin, who took 115 catches in his illustrious career in the red-ball format. He went third on the list for most catches completed in Test cricket.
