Iceland Cricket faces flak for Virat Kohli’s century drought tweet | Cricket News – Times of India

By Adam D Anglo On Feb 22, 2023

NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli ended his century drought in international cricket last year by smashing his maiden T20I ton against Afghanistan during an Asia Cup encounter. He followed that up with three more centuries in the ODIs against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
But Kohli’s agonising wait of scoring a hundred in the Test cricket continues with the Indian batter’s last ton coming in November 2019 against Bangladesh at Eden Gardens.
Kohli also failed to make an impact in the ongoing Test series against Australia with the scores of 12, 44 and 20 so far in the first two Tests.
The Iceland Cricket, who are very active on social media, took to Twitter to highlight the fact that Kohli has not scored a century in 23 Tests.
“This statistic won’t please many of our Indian fans, but it is now 23 Tests since Virat Kohli scored a century, which was back in 2019. How long is too long?,” Iceland Cricket tweeted.
