Virat Kohli ahora tiene 9 siglos de prueba contra Australia y regresa a su mejor forma con un siglo impresionante.
Return of the King – As if it was written in the scripts of destiny. With back against the wall, against a formidable opponent, upstepped Virat Kohli to slam his maiden Test ton in the 2024 Calendar year. And with that, he has gone past Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 6 Test tons in Down Under.
Virat Kohli now has 9 Test centuries in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Struggling with form and amidst strong criticism, Virat Kohli managed an international century after 375 days. His last century came in the ODI World Cup semi-finals against New Zealand where he scripted history by slamming his 50th ODI ton.
King of Down Under
Virat Kohli needed a big knock to find his rhythm back, and he got it on Day 3 of the IND vs AUS 1st Test in Perth. So far Virat Kohli stood matched with Sachin Tendulkar with 6 Test tons in Down Under. And now with this century, the modern-day great has gone past his idol.
His last Test century came against West Indies away from home back in 2023. And now after more than a year, he has gone on to notch up a brilliant ton.
With a brilliant sweep shot, something that Kohli rarely plays, struck a boundary to reach his century in style. And with that India too declared.

This is Kohli’s 10th hundred across formats in Australia, the most by a visiting batter.
“Anushka has been right by my side through thick and thin. She knows everything that goes on behind the scenes. Knows what goes on in the head when you’re not performing well. I’m not a guy who hangs around for the sake of it. I take pride in performing for the country,” a jubilant Kohli said after his innings.
