New DelhiIt has been almost two years since Team India captain Virat Kohli scored his 71st century in international cricket. It was in November 2019, that the star batsman scored the last century of his international career against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens. After that Virat played 49 international innings, but missed out on scoring a century every time. Not only this, but Virat has also struggled to score runs and has been under question for average batting performance.
Virat may be going through the worst phase of his career, but he is soon going to set a record that will bring joy to the faces of millions of Indian fans with him.
