‘Ahmedabad knock brought back the excitement,’ says Virat Kohli to AB de Villiers about his century drought.

Eventually, you want to be in such a place. And that particular hundred restored my sense of grounding. Just from a cricketing standpoint. In my life, I was pretty content and relaxed. However, when you’re playing, you want to be in that space as much as possible, he added.
Virat Kohli needed 1205 days and 41 innings to score his 28th Test century. His 27th came on November 23, 2019, against Bangladesh at Eden Gardens. Kohli had 186 points against Australia.
Kohli also discussed why Test cricket means so much more to him than white-ball cricket. I and AB have been in touch for a while and he knows how much I value Test cricket.
Even though I had performed well in T20Is and scored ODI centuries, I always felt that white-ball cricket was more of a game where if you go in with the right frame of mind on a particular day or for a certain period of time, you can overcome the obstacles.

It was just constantly putting me to the test. As a cricketer, that is something I have always cherished. I was getting good grades, but I wasn’t happy with what I was doing. No, I wasn’t. I take pride in giving my all for the team, and I certainly wasn’t doing that enough.
I wanted to score big runs, and that was something that always motivated me, whether at home or away. To some extent, I was doing that. But I wasn’t having the same kind of impact I used to, he added.
