Kohli lit up the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium by smashing his first century in the longest format since 2019 when he had slammed a ton against Bangladesh. Kohli desperately needed this hundred, and it did🌞n’t come easy as it was the second slowest ton in terms of balls faced for the former India skipper. Kohli took 41 innings to reach his 28th Test ton.

41 innings between 27th & 28th 100s*
11 innings between 11th & 12th 100s
10 innings between 6th & 7th 100s
10 innings between 25th & 26th 100s

It was also the 16th Test ton for Kohli against Australia. The record for most number of centuries against the Aussies is currently held by Sachin Tendulkar.

20 – Sachin Tendulkar vs Australia
19 – Don Bradman vs England
17 – Sachin Tendulkar vs Sri Lanka
