New Delhi: Team India's Test captain Virat Kohli's poor form with the bat continues. It is for the first time in his career, captain Kohli failed to score a ton in international cricket for the second straight year.

On Day 4 of Ind vs SA Boxing Day Test, skipper Kohli returned to the pavilion after scoring just 18 runs as he was dismissed by Marco Jensen bagged four 4 wickets in India's second innings which is quite impressive for any young bowler, playing his debut Test.

In the second innings, Virat tried to play a drive off Jenson's delivery but the ball took the outer edge of Virat's bat and went straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock. Virat got out soon after the lunch break.

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.

In the last two years, Virat Kohli scored runs and was also seen in good rhythm many times but could not convert his innings into a century.

Talking about India-South Africa 1st Test, India's second innings was reduced to 174 runs on Day 4. South Africa now has to chase 305 runs to take 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series.

Earlier, Team India had scored 327 runs in their first innings. KL Rahul scored a century in the first innings for India. South Africa got out for 197 runs in their 1st innings. Shami took the maximum 5 wickets for his team.
