Historical 75 years of friendship and Kohli’s 75th century… Amrit Mahotsav at Narendra Modi Stadium

Virat Kohli had found form in ODIs and T20 Internationals, but runs were not being scored with his bat in Tests. People were also criticizing him for this. Virat Kohli was also aware of this. He was also trying his best how to play a big innings. When Australia scored a mammoth score of 480 runs, the fans started expecting even bigger innings from the Indian batsmen. Captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed after scoring 35 runs, then Cheteshwar Pujara, who was called the wall, was dismissed for 42 runs.

Young Shubman Gill, batting aggressively, scored an innings of 128 runs in 235 balls with 12 fours and a six, while Virat Kohli returned unbeaten after scoring a half-century on the third day. Right from the start of the fourth day, Virat Kohli was seen batting with a different commitment and temperament. His patience can be gauged from the fact that he did not hit a single boundary on the fourth day till he completed his century. After completing the century in 241 balls, Kohli blasted 5 fours.

Virat Kohli scored the last century against Bangladesh in November 2019, while the last half-century was against South Africa in Cape Town in January 2022. In this way, he was seen struggling to reach the third mark, but the patience with which he batted in today’s innings is a reflection of Kohli’s indomitable courage and amazing patience. This innings of Virat Kohli is also important because it has come against a big team like Australia. This is his 8th Test century against the Kangaroo team.

Well, the way Narendra Modi and Anthony Albanese gave the message of friendship from the cricket field, on the other hand Virat Kohli’s 75th century made the match even more memorable. How eager the spectators were for Kohli’s century can be gauged from the fact that after crossing 90, the fans were cheering each and every run like a century. When Kohli was on 99, everyone was on their seats. It is not just a century, but also the elixir of the history of Border Gavaskar Trophy and Virat Kohli’s international cricket career, which King celebrated by kissing the lucky ‘ring’, a token of love hanging around his neck.
