Indian legendary cricketer Virat Kohli has done it again. Defying the criticisms, Kohli once again is back and running with his 30th Test hundred scored in Australia at the iconic Optus Stadium.
Kohli aced Australia again, as many of the Aussies greats as well as cricket analysts had predicted that if India were to excel in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli their most experienced batter in the island nation would have to be back in form.
After the hilarious change to pitch and playing conditions, from the first to the second innings, India capitalised on the Aussie bowlers. Openers Jaiswal and KL Rahul gave India the most perfect start they could, putting on a 200-run stand for the first time in Australia.
Young Jaiswal turned the highest run-getter for India in a first test match on Australian soil. Followed by their innings’, Virat Kohli, the Indian kingpin of batting came in to bat.
Kohli graced from the very first ball, as Kohli hit 8 fours and 2 sixes for his much-awaited stellar 30th test hundred after a gap of three years.
After his moment, Kohli in his much-known style, blew a kiss the stands to his wife Anushka Sharma, addressing her unwavering support during his tough times.
Virat Kohli scored his 100th Century in Professional Cricket
Indian batsman Kohli not only scored his 30th Indian hundred but also aced in scoring his 81st international performance, while also scoring his 100th professional hundred, which includes the number of hundreds the player has scored in domestic cricket including those of the Indian Premier League.
With Kohli’s hundred, India reached a total of 487/6 which took India to declare their innings thus posing a total of 534 in front of the mighty Aussies on their home soil. In return, Australia struggled again as skipper Bumrah and Siraj already reduced the Aussies to 3-wickets down for 12 runs.
