IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli ended the wait of almost three and a half years for a Test century on the fourth day of the Ahmedabad Test. Kohli scored a century and put India in a strong position against Australia by playing a marathon inning of 186 runs.
This was the 28th century of Kohli’s Test career and 75th overall. Of course, Kohli could not complete the double century, but he tried it, due to which Umesh Yadav had to become the scapegoat. You can guess this by watching the video going viral.
Kohli Was Accused Of Being Selfish
After the dismissal of Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav came on the wicket. Kohli was playing on 183 at that time. Only Mohammed Shami had to go after Umesh. That’s why Virat Kohli wanted to keep the strike with him so that he could complete his double century. Kohli ran Murphy’s ball playing on the leg side.
There was only one run, but Virat called Umesh Yadav for a double, knowing there were no two runs. In such a situation, Umesh Yadav could not say no to Virat, and Peter Handscomb took his wicket on a direct throw.
Umesh got out without playing any ball. After this, Virat Kohli is accused of getting Umesh out for a double century. Not only this but King Kohli was also seen laughing strangely after Umesh Yadav’s run out.
Kohli Misses Matching Bradman
When Virat Kohli was playing on 186, everyone believed that King Kohli would complete his double century. But on 186, Kohli got caught by Marnus Labuschagne in an attempt to play a big shot to Todd Murphy and his dream of scoring a double-century was shattered.
The disappointment of getting out was visible on Kohli’s face. If Virat Kohli had completed a double century, it would have been his 7th double century, and he would have missed the match with great batsman Don Bradman.
India Leads By 91 Runs
India scored 571 runs for nine wickets in the Ahmedabad Test with the help of Virat Kohli’s 186, Gill’s 128 and Akshar Patel’s 79 runs. Shreyas Iyer did not come to bat due to an injury. India has a lead of 91 runs over Australia based on the first innings. Australia scored 480 runs in the first innings and three runs without loss in the second. Travis Head and Matthew Kunhmann were unbeaten at the end of the fourth day.
