Kohli’s first century in three years

Kolhi’s last ton was back against Bangladesh in 2019 when the champions were finally able to take the weight off their shoulders.
The wait is over, it’s a century for Virat Kohli!

Green is out of hell
Cameron Green’s 16th over was hellish, with the Australian all-rounder completing 21 runs, most of the series between the two countries.
The Australians provided Virat Kohli and Srikar Bharat with a field that welcomed short balls for the batsmen, which the Indians took full advantage of.
Despite a strong start to the over, Green was toned by Bharat for consecutive sixes followed by a fine shot for four.
However, the sirens went off, indicating the 23-year-old had stepped over the crease, signaling a no-ball.
Green backed up this performance with another extra (no ball).
Already on 19 runs, the Indians turned batting around the remaining two balls of the over and produced the most expensive set of the series.
Substitute captain Steve Smith then replaced Green with spinner Todd Murphy as the Aussies were desperate for a wicket.
Bharat takes over Green’s short bowling and sends him to the stands.

Murphy breaks Kolhi-Jadeja partnership as Aussies get a sniff
Young Aussie spinner Todd Murphy got a much-needed break from Ravindra Jadeja.
Jadeja and Virat Kohli’s partnership was worth 64 runs but lasted almost 30 overs.
Jadeja’s dismissal can be a fire starter for the visitors hoping to turn Day Four’s opening wicket into much more.
Jadeja with the wrong shot and he concedes his wicket
