**Perth, Australia:** Indian batting star Virat Kohli bounced back from a first-innings failure in the first Test against Australia with a magnificent unbeaten century in the second innings. This ton marked his 100th century across all professional formats of cricket.
Kohli’s unbeaten 100, scored off 143 balls with eight fours and two sixes, was his 30th Test century and his 7th in Australia. This achievement propelled him past Sachin Tendulkar and Herbert Sutcliffe, who both scored 6 centuries in Australia, tying him with Wally Hammond for most Test centuries by a visiting player in Australia (7). His overall century tally comprises 54 in List A cricket, 37 in first-class cricket, and 9 in T20 cricket.
With this milestone, Kohli joins an elite group of batsmen, though still trailing Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international centuries. He currently holds the second-highest number of international centuries with 81, behind Tendulkar’s 100.
The match also saw a significant achievement in the context of the ongoing India-Australia Test series, with Kohli showcasing his resilience and class on a challenging pitch.
