Kohli ends hundred drought in style, India in charge v Australia
AHMEDABAD, India :Virat Kohli ended his agonising wait for a test century with a painstaking 186 as India racked up 571 to claim a lead of 91 in the fourth and final test against Australia on Sunday.
Earlier, India lost Ravindra Jadeja after resuming on 289-3 but Kohli and KS Bharat denied Australia another success in that slow-moving session. Promoted in the batting order as Shreyas Iyer did not bat because of back pain, Bharat accelerated after the lunch break, hitting Green for back-to-back sixes and following it with a four in a 21-run over.
Patel, who smashed four sixes and five fours in his belligerent 79, continued his red-hot form with the bat, registering his third half-century of the series. He became the last Indian wicket to fall, holing out to Marnus Labuschagne at long-on to depart after a 364-ball knock, which included 15 fours.
