Three years and four months later, Virat Kohli has achieved his 28th Test century against Australia in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This is Kohli\u2019s first Test century since November 23, 2019 \u2013 and after 1205 days \u2013 ending his unusually long wait for a three-figure score in Test cricket.<\/p>\n<p>With this knock, Kohli has replicated a remarkable feat that the legendary Sunil Gavaskar achieved 40 years ago. Playing his 50th Test at home in 1983, Gavaskar scored a century while batting at No. 4. Surprisingly enough, this too is Kohli\u2019s 50th Test on home soil, and like Gavaskar, he celebrated it with a century. The only difference was that Gavaskar scored his 14th ton at home while Kohli enjoyed his 13th.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it is Kohli\u2019s eighth century against Australia, tying him with Gavaskar for the joint second-most tons by an Indian against the Australians, second only to Sachin Tendulkar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viart overtakes Gavaskar for the joint second-most tons by an Indian against the Australians, second only to Sachin Tendulkar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":316,"featured_media":28716,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3532,246],"class_list":["post-5779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-border-gavaskar-trophy-2023","tag-sunil-gavaskar"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
