Virat Kohli scored his 28th Test century on Sunday, March 12, ending a long wait for his first Test ton in more than three years. Upon reaching the Test ton, Virat looked a relaxed man and did a modest celebration. It was a very unlike Kohli celebration wherein he punches the air and screams loudly. Here, he was a much relaxed and calm about it. Kohli celebrated the 28th Test ton his career by taking out the wedding ring he wears as a locket and kissed it. Since his marriage in 2017, Kohli has, every now and then, spoken on positive impact of his wife Anushka Sharma on his career. He ensures he remembers Anushka Sharma when he achieves a big milestone.

The Ahmedabad knock is among Virat's finest knocks in recent years wherein he looked assured as a batter both against spin and pace bowling. He took his time, scoring the second-slowest hundred, taking 241 balls to the landmark. He showed patience in this innings, and ensured he batted for a long time. The 34-year-old was determined to make a mark in this Test and unlike previous few innings, was not looking desperate to break the shackles. He played one ball at a time and believed in his skill to end the 1204 days drought for his 28th Test ton.
Earlier, Shubman Gill stroked a beautiful 128 too. His innings included 12 four and 2 six respectively. Gill, who is rated as the next big thing in Indian cricket, has been scoring centuries across formats. He recently scored tons in both ODIs and T20Is too at the start of the year and now has scored one in Test cricket as well. Gill had missed playing in the first two Tests because the Indian management stuck with KL Rahul as the first-choice opener.
