If not runs, centuries have certainly dried up for the former Indian skipper, Virat Kohli in the last couple of years. He has scored his last century in international cricket back in November 2019 and the entire cricket world is eagerly waiting for his 71st ton for the Indian team. Meanwhile, a fan has expressed his desire to see Kohli’s next hundred on Pakistan soil.
In the ongoing first Test match between Pakistan and Australia in Rawalpindi, a spectator was spotted holding Kohli’s poster with the text reading: “We want your 71st century in Pakistan.” Needless to mention, the picture went viral instantly on social media and became a talking point among netizens. It must be noted that Kohli is yet to play an international match in Pakistan as India last toured their neighboring country way back in 2008.

Back then, Virat Kohli wasn’t a part of the Indian team set-up and it remains to be seen whether the fan’s desire fulfills or not. It must be noted that India and Pakistan haven’t played any bilateral series for almost a decade now and are amid political tension between the two arch-rivals. Hence, they only lock horns with each other in multi-national tournaments like World Cups, Champions Trophy, and Asia Cup.

Coming back to Virat Kohli, the former Indian skipper completed 100 Test matches during the recently-concluded opening Test of the two-match series against Sri Lanka in Mohali. While the right-handed batter did play some delightful shots and looked set to muster a big score, he fell prey to Lasith Embuldeniya at a personal score of 45. Nonetheless, Ravindra Jadeja’s all-around heroics meant India comprehensively clinched the contest by an innings and 222 runs.

As far as the Rawalpindi Test is concerned, Pakistan declared their innings after registering a mammoth score of 476/4 after electing to bat first. Australia, however, made a comeback with the bat as they finished Day 3 at 271/2, trailing by 205 runs. As the track still looks pretty solid to bat on and a couple of days of play left, the game is heading towards a draw.
