The long wait has finally ended for Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli hit his first Test century in more than three years as India reached 475 for five at tea on day four of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy’s fourth and final encounter. Kohli was unbeaten on 135 (291 balls; 104) alongside Axar Patel (38 not out; 75 balls, 34, 16). India was only eight runs behind Australia at the interval.

However, the pitch appears to have grown a lot more and slower, and the ball appears to be staying a little lower than it did the first three days.

India will need to win this encounter and the series 3-1 to qualify for the World Test Championship final. If they drop this game and Sri Lanka wins their current series against New Zealand 2-0, the Lankans will advance to the WTC final against Australia. If India draws and Sri Lanka does not completely destroy the Kiwis, the WTC final will be held at the Oval in June.
