Virat Kohli Targets the Elusive 81st International Century While the gesture was touching, Kohli himself has his focus firmly set on the task at hand. After India's dominant 280-run win over Bangladesh in the first Test, Kohli will be looking to bounce back after a lackluster performance with the bat, where he managed only 6 and 17 runs in the two innings. This second Test presents an opportunity for the former Indian captain to get back into form and add to his impressive tally of 80 international centuries. Kohli's last international hundred came in the semifinals of the 2023 World Cup against New Zealand on November 15, 2023. However, his drought of Test centuries continues, with the last one being more than a year ago, against the West Indies in July, 2023. As Kohli steps onto the pitch in Kanpur, the anticipation of his 81st international century lingers. For a player of his calibre, such a milestone is always just one innings away, and the fans, much like the humble groundstaff, continue to cheer him on, hoping to witness another chapter of greatness in his remarkable career.
