Precisely, it took Kohli three years, three months and 19 days since 22 November 2019 to score his next Test hundred.

The star India batter took 241 balls to reach his 28th Test hundred which is also his 75th international ton. He began Day 4 on 59 off 128 balls and took his time to add the remaining 41 runs. Kohli got to the three-figure mark with a single off Nathan Lyon in the 139th over of India’s first innings.

Naturally, the cricketer was relieved to finally get the monkey off his back and celebrated his century by kissing his wedding ring as his partner at the crease, Axar Patel, gave him a warm embrace.

After a brief celebration, Kohli was back to his work as India reached 419/5 by the Tea break and trail by 61 runs. Kohli was unbeaten on 110 off 256. Axar was unbeaten on 14 off 32.
