IND vs AUS: Former Indian captain Virat Kohli has long been criticized for not ending his century drought as far as Test cricket is concerned.
Although he ended up his ODI century drought after 40 months, he is yet to end his Test century drought. The last time when Virat Kohli scored a ton was back in 2019.
Virat Kohli scored a ton against Bangladesh in 2019 during a day-night Test affair. Since then, he failed to score a century but played some pivotal knocks for the team.
The right-handed batter has been in dismal form as far as the Test format is concerned in recent times. The star batter clearly struggled to dictate the terms in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy series.
Virat Kohli who top-scored for India with 22 runs in the first innings of the Indore Test had a huge responsibility on his shoulders when he came out to bat in the second innings.
As it turned out, he ended up throwing away his wicket as he was trapped for a leg-before wicket off Matthew’s delivery. Kohli departed after scoring 13 runs.

During the second innings, Virat Kohli was absolutely taken aback by the sharp turn while Matthew Kuhnemann. The incident happened during the 19th over of India’s innings.
At the last second, Virat Kohli tried to get a connection off his willow, which bounced over the wicketkeeper and then the ball raced towards the boundary.
The video clip of the same has gone viral on social media. Meanwhile, India have a lead of just over 50 runs and currently, Australia are in the commanding position to win the third Test.
