Virat Kohli ends second straight year without any international hundred

Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli ended the year 2021 without scoring a century in international cricket as he departed for 18 in the second innings of the first Test against South Africa on Wednesday.

In 2020 also, Kohli had failed to reach the triple-figure mark.

The Indian skipper had last scored a ton in the day-night Test against Bangladesh at Eden Gardens in 2019.

South Africa bowler Marco Jansen removed Kohli in the 33rd over as the batter’s quest for his 71st ton continued.
