IND vs AUS 2023: List Of Players With Most International Centuries As Virat Kohli Finally Ends His Century Drought In Tests

Virat Kohli, on Sunday (March 12), finally ended his century drought in Tests as he reached the triple-digit mark in the ongoing fourth Test against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The former India skipper had been going through a lean run in Tests in recent months. He had not scored a fifty in red-ball cricket since January last year and ended the wait on Saturday by scoring an unbeaten fifty. And on Sunday, he finally scored a Test century after a long gap of almost four years.

Prior to the ongoing Test, he had last scored a century in Tests way back in November 2019 during the Eden Gardens Test against Bangladesh. Since then, he played 23 Tests without scoring a century before finally ending the drought against Australia. It took Kohli 241 deliveries to score his century.

The latest century has helped Virat Kohli further close the gap on legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the list of most international centuries. The former India skipper has already left behind all the other players in the list and is now just behind Tendulkar.

Tendulkar is leading the list with 100 international tons while Kohli has scored 75 centuries so far. He now has 28 tons in Tests, 46 in ODIs and 1 in T20Is. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is third in the list with 71 tons and is followed by Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara who retired from the game after scoring 63 centuries. Former Proteas allrounder Jacques Kallis completes the top 5.
