During the course of his innings on Day 3, Kohli and Australia's stand-in skipper Steve Smith also engaged in some light hearted on field moment. Anything happening off the pitch was off the rough area. Cheteshwar Pujara then walked in and went to stitch a pivotal 113-run partnership for the second wicket with Gill, before getting out for 42 by Todd Murphy. The pitch was pretty good to bat on. In a video doing rounds on social media, both were seen engaged in a conversation, with Kohli's bat probably being the topic of discussion. India produced a brilliant fightback in the ongoing Ahmedabad Test, with Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli leading the charge.

IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli sizzles after a vulnerable start, marches ... (The Indian Express)

IND vs AUS: India will hope the batsman will end his 100 drought and lead the charge for yet another famous win against Australia.

Ironically for the first time in the series, on the flattest track on offer, Kohli looked a touch vulnerable at the start. [Shreyas Iyer](https://indianexpress.com/about/shreyas-iyer/) who can play a blazing cameo and entertain the crowd. Next to him was the man of the moment and the centurion Shubman Gill. Early on, the left-armer Matthew Kuhnemann slipped in a mirror image of the ball that dismissed Kohli in the second innings at Indore – a short of length delivery on the middle and leg line, but the sluggish track mean it didn’t skid on and Kohli pulled it to wide midwicket boundary. Before the Day 5 speculations, there will be a collective wait, in the first session on Day 4, for Kohli to score 41 more runs. While he was still tentative, the game stopped for the tea break. The last time Kohli scored a hundred was 41 innings and three and a half years back. A flat track, tired bowlers, an easy match situation and a Sunday crowd – the stars are aligned for Kohli to lead India’s charge for yet another famous win against Australia. For the broadcaster, it’s a reason to whip up a frenzy to bait the viewers to stay tuned. For the security agencies, it means a busy day and for the pav bhaji sellers outside the stadium, it’s a clear signal to order extra pavs. Later, he would scribble a disclaimer when asked about the left-arm pacer Mitchel Starc’s footmarks on the pitch and how they can possibly help the spinner. Pundits have a habit of overusing the cliche ‘the first session will be crucial’ at the end of the day’s play.

'The way he was running…': Axar's unusual update on Kohli's ... (Hindustan Times)

Axar Patel forged a 162-run partnership with Virat Kohli, who scored his 28th century during day 4 of the fourth Test against Australia on Sunday.

Kohli scored only five fours en route to his 28th Test century, indicating that he relied primarily on ones and twos throughout his stay at the crease. Kohli looked set for a double century but a flurry of wickets in the lower-order eventually forced the batter's hand to adopt an aggressive approach; he was caught at deep midwicket while going for a six against Todd Murphy. Anushka, on her story, wrote that Kohli was “sick” as he took the field on Sunday. Inspiring me always,” Anushka wrote on her profile. During the press conference after the day, India all-rounder Axar Patel – who scored a valiant 79 and forged a 162-run stand alongside Kohli – was asked whether Kohli was ill during his innings. Following his innings, Kohli was lauded by fans and former cricketers alike, with India star's wife Anushka Sharma making a major revelation about Kohli on her official Instagram profile.

The Virat Kohli century that was a trip back in time (ESPNcricinfo.com)

One of the best batters that India has ever produced played an innings that made the mind look back across eras.

Kohli took just 72 balls to rush from 100 to 150, and his highlights reel began to grow to proportions commensurate with the magnitude of his innings. [Sunil Gavaskar](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/sunil-gavaskar-28794)and [Dilip Vengsarkar](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/dilip-vengsarkar-35654)that they scored so many of their runs in draws. He was beaten on the outside edge by the second ball, and he edged the third one just short of slip. There have been times in the past when a Kohli century has seemed inevitable as soon as he's spent 15 minutes at the crease. [Shubman Gill](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/shubman-gill-1070173)could have been bowled through the gate by Todd Murphy, or played on to Starc. Great India batters of the past played a lot of Test matches like this. In that time, his Test average had dropped from [54.97 to 48.12](https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/253802.html?class=1;template=results;type=batting;view=cumulative). [Cheteshwar Pujara](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/cheteshwar-pujara-32540)are India's sixth- and eighth-highest run-getters in Test cricket. One, there was a chance of an overthrow, and he finally turned to take it when he heard Ishant Sharma calling out from the other end. Then he laid his helmet and gloves down, and reached into his collar to extract the chain he wears around his neck. Now you could argue that the last sentence is both an exaggeration and an example of recency bias. When he completed the run, he was still so caught up in this quarrel that two bits of information seemed to have escaped him.

The wait is over: Virat Kohli survives storm, hits Test hundred after ... (The Indian Express)

Reinventing himself in the middle with altered technique, Virat Kohli scores his first Test century in three-and-a-half years.

Nathan Lyon tried round the stumps line – the one turning in from a good length on middle stump line towards middle to see if the bat is dangled across and a lbw pops up. And so, Lyon went over the stumps, trying to poke an error on the forward defensive. In the second, from a middle-stump, he lunged well forward but couldn’t get his bat ahead in time to properly manoeuvre the ball and edged it. Even in this century knock (at the point when he reached his hundred) only 17 runs came on the off side to the spinners; 58 runs were on the leg side. On the rank turners, he has looked very composed until the ball that has consumed him, of course. The body is always going across from that point on and the off-break turning in has a more venomous potential for lbw, especially for someone with Kohli’s style of batting. Most of his runs and even the gentle taps for dot balls have been to the leg side to the spinners. Kohli went back to try to turn the ball to the leg side, but bat-face totally shut, and the ball turned past the bat to ping his back pad in front of the middle stump. In Bangladesh, he started with the leg-stump in the first Test at Chattogram, before moving to middle in the next; not much success. The sense of victimhood began to fade out from his head, the heart opened up for love to rush in, and also, a sense of calmness. Three-and-half years of barrenness, three-and-half years of slowly swelling criticism, the losing of the captaincy crown, the headlines that screamed ‘King Kohli dethroned’, a mental struggle to accept the loss of his stature, a brief apathy towards the game, a falling out of love for the game even, but the tide turned with acceptance of his state. [Virat Kohli](https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/border-gavaskar-trophy-ind-vs-aus-virat-kohli-sizzles-after-a-vulnerable-start-marches-towards-test-ton-no-28-8491267/) bat in India in the [last three years ](https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/india-vs-australia-numbers-behind-virat-kohlis-long-wait-8492244/)or so has been a timely reminder about the greatness of sport: how it can embarrass even a top star and make him re-learn the art of batting in some ways.
