Virat Kohli scored such a century
On the third day of the match, Virat Kohli reached the crease after Padikkal’s wicket fell. Support for fast bowlers had definitely ended on the Perth pitch, but there was an uneven bounce here. The ball sometimes bounced up and other times stayed down. Virat Kohli dealt with this problem very well. Playing cautiously, he scored 40 runs until the tea break. After this, Virat Kohli was saved from getting out twice. On both occasions the ball was saved from hitting his wicket. With luck on his side, Virat Kohli did wonders. He completed his half-century in 94 balls and then, playing in a stormy style, reached his century.
