New Delhi: November 23, 2019 is the last time Virat Kohli scored an international century.
Exactly two years ago.
Even though the engine was run absolutely over the years, Virat has not managed to get three in the format since then.
That day was the first second day that had a pink ball test was held in India.
Opposition: Bangladesh.
Place: magnificent eden garden.
The match began on November 22, 2019 and the Indian captain reached a milestone the next day off 159 balls with the help of 12 hits to the fence.
(Afp photo) it was 136-run the beats of the century No.
27 for Kohli in the cricket test and number 70 overall, and India ran to the round and 46-run victory in three days.
Post that India’s current test and Captain Odi did not print the international century had become one of the biggest speaking points in Indian cricket.
Thanks to the high standards he set for himself and the thin volume of walking he had scored in international cricket, waiting for the virat for the next international century had been seen one more than actually.
A look at the numbers since its last international century despite showing that it has maintained a healthy overall average in cricket limited overs.
The format in which the average has decreased is a cricket test.
Since November 23, 2019, the average test has been 26.80.
Since century vs Bangladesh in 2019, Kohli has played 12 test matches and the highest score has scored against Australia in Adelaide in December 2019.
Kohli looks good for three numbers knocking in the test, until he runs out.
After the Adelaide test, Virat continued the leave.
In the test cricket (since November 23, 2019) during these 12 tests, playing since its last international century, Kohli failed to open three accounts and attracted all three ducks registered against England.
Apart from the 12 tests, Kohli has also played 15 ODIS and 23 T20IS during this period, but the three-numbers have avoided him in the white-ball format too.
In ODIS and T20IS (since November 23, 2019) the average ODI in this period (since he was the last international one hundred) had 43.26, with 649 running in 15 rounds and the average at T20IS had become very impressive 59.76, With 777 running in 20 rounds.
Remember Virat also did not get many opportunities to add to the list of international centuries due to covid pandemics.
The numbers indicate that restrictions in the test cricket, this virat form has not been completely dipped in two other formats since its last international century.
Even the T20i form is very good, with the highest score of 94 *, the best career score in the format.
It won’t be wrong to say that one of the big reasons for the virat decided to step down as India T20i captain because he wanted to focus more on batting and reclaim the tag into the best bat in the world, in the format.
He actually still has an average of more than 50 in all three formats (51.08 in tests, 59.07 in ODIS and 52.04 in T20IS).
After 32 years – compared to Sachin and PontingMake wrong, Virat Kohli 33 years is a great one of all time and stands high when compared to a great modern batting day like Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting away with mere walking amount he has scored.
In fact, Kohli has the best average of 55.14 in the format at the time of all three great batting finished 32 years (until before their 33rd birthday).
On average from both tendulkar and ponting fell only short from 50-mark.
Virat turned 33 on November 5 this year.
A quick look at virat comparative numbers, Sachin and Ponting SD before their 33rd birthday showed that at this stage (until before their 33rd birthday) Sachin had 74 international centuries as a whole, with a cumulative average 48, 35.
At the same time, Ponting has 57 international centuries as a whole, at a cumulative average of 49.81.
Virat currently has 70 international hundreds to his name and an average of 55.14 in all formats.
Kohli had missed the T20I series and he has been rested for the first Test against New Zealand as well, but he will return to lead the side in the second Test.
Century is just around the corner for Virat?
