The drought has finally ended for the great Virat Kohli. He scored his 28th Test Century in the fourth test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. This is also his 75th International Century across all formats. He is holding the record for the most International hundreds among active players in International Cricket. He had to wait for Three years and four months for his 28th Test Ton.
Last year, Kohli snapped his century in T20Is and ODIs and then added a 74th earlier this year against Sri Lanka in an ODI. Kohli finally buried the drought of his Test Centuries run on Day 4 of the Ahmedabad Test, which he will remember for a long time.
