Wait for Virat Kohli's 71st Century:

Bangalore is Virat Kohli?s second home, where he was earlier scheduled to play his landmark 100th test, however, a few tweaks were made in the schedule by the BCCI which shifted Virat?s 100th test appearance to Mohali.

For a long time since November 2019, fans have been eagerly waiting for Virat Kohli to bring up his 71st century. The former Indian skipper has often found a way to score half-centuries often, but he eventually ends up giving his wicket.

It will be interesting to watch, if Virat can score his long-standing 71st century in his second home, Bangalore on March 12.

Team India defeated Sri Lanka in the opening Test in Mohali by a huge margin of 222 runs and an innings. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was adjudged as the Player of the Match for his sensational 175 runs knock along with nine wickets in the match.
