Virat's classy innings helped India to finish at 571 in the first innings with a lead of 91 runs
The 'King' was back at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Sunday, ruling over the Aussies with a brilliant 186, batting for more than eight hours to demonstrate an ultimate show of discipline, determination, and concentration.
The precise information was divulged on social media by his wife Anushka Sharma after his husband's magnificent eight-hour batting that Virat batted with sickness throughout the innings. It was vivid that amidst the scorching 36 degrees Celsius the former Indian skipper had once laid on the ground out of tiredness. Still, how did he get the mental strength? A video turned viral on social media which showed 'Virushka' at Ujjain Mahakal temple praying after the third test against Australia and Virat admitted to the media people, "You can try your best. But ultimately it is the god who gives you everything."
The 28th test century, after November 2019 against Bangladesh and without a four within the hundred needed a character and Kohli showed it. He was seen yelling in frustration after missing the double hundred by only 14 runs. Still, he achieved the rare feat of scoring his 75th international hundred in 552 innings, in 14 fewer innings than the previous highest scorer, Sachin Tendulkar. Virat's classy innings helped India to finish at 571 in the first innings with a lead of 91 runs. Australia is 3/0 at the end of day 4.
The cricket fraternity showered praises and lauds on the batter through social media as legendary cricketer Virender Sehwag wrote, 'Class is permanent. This is an exceptional innings from Virat. Faith in Almighty, tremendous belief in himself. A special international 100.' Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer said," This is Virat Kohli the batter. Has the power and the tools, and knows when to use what. Well played @imVkohli 👏🏽 #INDvAUS". His former compatriot Dinesh Karthik said," The man is at it again! This century is a testament to the confident and classy @imVkohli that we've always known. The discipline he maintains regardless of the situation makes him a batter with 75th hundred to his name. Keep going!" Former Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad said, Special innings from a special player, great temperament on display from Virat. Apart from his extraordinary hunger and intensity, Virat's comeback to form has been an excellent inspiration to learn how faith in the higher forces can help in challenging times. Proud".
