Virat Kohli has doubled preparations for the IND-SA Test series.
  • Kohli will look to end his more than two years old century jinx in the Boxing Day Test and end the year on a high.
  • He is undergoing a century jinx in the last 21 innings, spanning 761 days. Since then, he has only managed 5 half-centuries in the longest format.
  • He had last scored a Test century against Bangladesh on November 22, 2019.
  • His average has dipped in the last couple of years as compared to his career average.
  • Virat Kohli got starts during India’s tour of England earlier this year but failed to convert them into triple-figure scores
  • The swashbuckling batter was the highest run-scorer for India in the 2018 tour when he scored 286 runs at an average of 47.66 in three matches. He hit one hundred and a fifty, however, India went down fighting 1-2 in the series.
  • He remains key if India wants to win their maiden Test series.
  • Kohli would certainly look to let his bat do the talking after the controversial ODI captaincy change.
