Monkey off back.

 

[Xix2565]

Turns out all we needed was Bapu to shepherd the poor soul.

 

[Raz0r6ack]

Almost felt inevitable Kohli would get a 100 in this innings.

 

[trundler]

Ah **** Yasir Shah no longer has a more recent test ton than Kohli. Fair play to him. Crucial knock.

 

[Spark]

Wonder how many Tests centuries there have been in which 5 or fewer boundaries were scored (before getting to 100 anyway)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Nice to see him get another test match 100. Hope there are still plenty more to come.

 

[Shri]

expected something like this

or this

 

[silentstriker]

From the commentary the quality of this innings is that of Lara in 99

This comment made me pull up that 153* highlights from Rob. Man what an innings that was.

 

[artvandalay]

If Rahul would have felt lucky the previous match he will feel unlucky at not having had a chance to get back in form here.

 

[The_CricketUmpire]

A Test century for Virat Kohli after 1,205 days. Test century number 28.

 

[Howe_zat]

Nice to see him get another test match 100. Hope there are still plenty more to come.

Agree, and there's no bigger indictment of his last few years than this being the feeling among opposition fans, is there? In 2018 I just wanted him to **** off forever

 

[R!TTER]

This is just pure conjecture

Not with Sehwag no, this is in the series where we had first ever (rudimentary) DRS -

[Spark]

Geez Starc must be short of a gallop if he's sending these out at low 130s. I know this has been a long, hot innings but it isn't like he's had a lot to do other than stand around

 

[Shri]

that kid is literally me when i had to watch dravid bat in the old cement cauldron chepauk stadium in the 90s/00s

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wonder how many Tests centuries there have been in which 5 or fewer boundaries were scored (before getting to 100 anyway)

Abdullah shafique scored a 160 with 8 boundaries in a 4th innings chase last year

 

[Test fan]

Pandemic is over!

 

[Burgey]

Great exercise in concentration from Kohli. Well deserved ton.

 

[Burgey]

Matthew Hayden just maybe being a tad hyperbolic comparing Kohli with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan as “one of the great athletes of all time” but tbf he knows who pays his bills.

 

[ashley bach]

Starc straying down the leg an awful lot.

 

[Shri]

think our bowlers need a bit more rest in the aircon before bowling
