With an outstanding 186, India’s Virat Kohli snapped his protracted century drought in Test cricket, helping the hosts take the lead against Australia in the fourth Test.
In a 364-ball innings that required him to spend more than eight hours at the crease, Kohli, whose previous century came in November 2019, smashed 15 fours.
The 34-year-old superstar was caught by Marnus Labuschagne off Todd Murphy, preventing him from reaching the double century.
After successfully placing India in a sound position, he was greeted with jubilation.
With a 2-1 series lead, India effectively put themselves in an invincible position going into the match’s final day.
Kohli has recently scored one-day and T20 centuries after struggling with the bat in 2021 and 2022, which cost him the captaincy and forced him to discuss his difficulties with mental health.
