Virat Kohli Has Played 100 Matches Now Without Scoring A Century In Competitive Cricket

Kohli has played 17 Tests, 21 ODIs, 25 T20Is, and 37 IPL matches since his previous hundred against Bangladesh in 2019.

When a 31-year-old Virat Kohli scored his 70th international hundred in November 2019, it was assumed that he would close in on Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 hundreds very soon.

As it turned out, that wasn't the case and Kohli failed to score even a single hundred since his 136 against Bangladesh in November 2019. 

Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck on Tuesday against Lucknow. Fans had great expectations from the senior batter as a heroic knock was expected from the ex-India skipper to pull his team back into the match. However, the crowd in the stadium went into pin-drop silence when Virat was dismissed by Chammera. 

Kohli is just one hundred behind Ricky Ponting for two and half years. He has struggled to convert his good starts into big innings. 

Virat Kohli, so far, has scored 23650 runs in 458 international games across formats, with 70 centuries and 122 half-centuries. Kohli is currently the seventh-highest run-scorer in world cricket and the third Indian player after Sachin Tendulkar (34357 runs) and Rahul Dravid (24208 runs).

Virat had failed to score an international ton even in the year 2020 and this year too he failed to end his "century drought". This is the first time that Virat Kohli has not been able to score a century in two consecutive years in international cricket.
