New Delhi: It has been almost two years since team India's skipper Virat Kohli scored his 71st century in international cricket. It was in November 2019, the star batsman scored the last century of his international career against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens. After that, Virat played 49 international innings, but every time missed out on scoring a century. Not only this, but Virat has also struggled to score runs and has been under the scanner for average batting performance.

Virat might be possibly going through the worst phase of his career, but he is soon going to make a record that will bring happiness to the faces of millions of Indian fans along with him.
