Indian batting star Virat Kohli is inching closer to his 29th Test century, which will help him equal Sir Don Bradman. Kohli has not scored a century abroad for many years. The drought will end with this ton. Kohli averages 49.38 as his average has dropped significantly in the last two years. Kohli scored a brilliant half-century in the first innings of the first Test, but was caught at leg-slip after a lapse in concentration. But here in the first innings of the first Test, Kohli looks all set to score a century.
The way Kohli has conducted the innings is a reflection of the fact that he is serious about getting runs back. Kohli took a long time to get his first run and was in no hurry to hit the boundary. However, he definitely hit 8 fours in the over. Kohli has faced 161 balls so far and fans would like him to score 100 runs.
