Virat Kohli is one of the finest batters in the modern era and after a slow start to his Test career, he came up with some stunning performances in the purest format of the game. However, he has encountered a dip of form since 2019, and the centuries have dried up, especially in Test cricket.
He has now 29 centuries in Test cricket which is the same number of centuries that Don Bradman got in his career. That special century for Virat Kohli came in Port of Spain against West Indies in the second Test of the series in July 2023. He scored 121 in that game, and was unfortunately run out.
The century came in the first innings when India managed to post a strong total of 438 on the board. Kohli was the only centurion, but the likes of Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin scored fifties. Indian bowlers then bowled out West Indies for just 255 and in the second innings, India played positively and declared for 181 after 24 overs.

Virat Kohli did not bat in that innings, but the match still ended in a draw as their was very less time remaining in the game. Virat Kohli's first Test century came in Adelaide during the 2011-12 BGT, and it was the series that announced his arrival as a Test batter at the international level. Along with 29 centuries, Virat also has seven double centuries to his name, making him one of the greats of modern cricket.
His stats are even better in the ODI format where he has hundred 50 centuries with an average of 58.18. Kohli is now 36-year-old and if he gets back to his vintage best, he might come close to 100 centuries in international cricket, a landmark onlyhas reached.
