Virat Kohli opened up to AB de Villers about his century drought in Test cricket and what it meant to him when he finally got to the three figures in Ahmedabad Test in the recently-concluded Border-Gavaskar Test series.
“So, when I made the hundred and converted it into a big one, that gave me a sense of calmness, relaxation, and excitement again,” Kohli told AB de Villiers on the latter’s YouTube channel.
“You kind of become comfortable with your game, and your thinking, and your heart is not rising before the next practice session.
“You eventually want to be in such a space. And that particular hundred gave me a grounded feeling back. Just from a cricketing perspective.
“In life, I was pretty happy and relaxed. But when playing also, you want to be in that space as much as possible,” he added.
It took Virat Kohli 1205 days 41 innings to score his 28th Test century. His 27th came against Bangladesh on November 23, 2019 at Eden Gardens. Kohli scored 186 against Australia.
