Virat Kohli missed out on a hundred in third Test, which could've been his 71st century.
India captain Virat Kohli missed out on a hundred in the first innings of the ongoing third Test against South Africa despite getting quite close. The wait of his 71st international century is only getting longer with every innings.
Kohli's last hundred in international cricket came against Bangladesh during the pink-ball Test as he scored 136 at the Eden Gardens on November 23, 2019. His knock on Tuesday (January 11) in Cape Town looked good enough to end the wait before he got out to Kagiso Rabada on 79 runs.
