This is how Kohli scored a century in Perth
After Padikkal’s dismissal, Kohli came to the crease on the third day. The fast bowlers were getting less help on the Perth pitch, but the batsmen were facing difficulty due to uneven bounce. Sometimes the ball was bouncing more than required and sometimes it was staying low. Amidst these challenges, Kohli started with restraint and scored 40 runs till tea.
After this, Kohli was saved from being dismissed twice when the ball narrowly missed hitting his wicket. Luck favored him, and the right-handed batsman capitalized on this opportunity and completed his half-century in 94 balls. After this, he scored runs rapidly and completed his journey to a century.
