Lyon to Kohli, 1 run, flicked in the gap and that's the 75th hundred for Virat Kohli. A sense of relief more than anything else from Virat as he takes the helmet off and kisses his ring. Axar hugs him to congratulate. Virat acknowledges all the applause from the crowd and his teammates. Ravi Shaz on air says "600kg Gorilla off his back". Quality knock this. Team unsure if Shreyas will be available to bat. Still a long way to wipe off the deficit, but he's soaked up all the pressure and played a mature knock. Pitch not that easy to bat on compared to the phase Gill was batting, but Virat's defence, shots and placement were spot on. Gets his first Test hundred since November 2019
