Virat Kohli ends drought with first Test century since 2019 in Ahmedabad

Virat Kohli finally broke his Test century drought on Sunday as he brought up his 28th hundred in the format in the fourth India vs Australia match at Ahmedabad. Kohli’s last Test century had come on 22 November 2019 against Bangladesh when he had scored 139. **IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 4 LIVE** Precisely, it took Kohli three years, three months and 19 days since 22 November 2019 to score his next Test hundred. The star India batter took 241 balls to reach his 28th Test hundred which is also his 75th international ton. He began Day 4 on 59 off 128 balls and took his time to add the remaining 41 runs. Kohli got to the three-figure mark with a single off Nathan Lyon in the 139th over of India’s first innings.
