After hitting his long-awaited 28th Test century in Sunday’s fourth Test against Australia, star Indian batter Virat Kohli responded to his doubters and trolls. Because of Kohli’s brilliant batting, India scored 571 runs in their first innings, putting them ahead by 91. Australia went into the early stumps on Day 5 of the contest still undefeated at 175/2, and they would finish up drawing the match.

The right-handed hitter proved his true mettle with a scorching century against Australia, after taking a lot of criticism for his century drought from fans and many cricket analysts.
Mohammad Amir, a former Pakistani fast bowler, was asked about the criticism Kohli has received, and he blasted his detractors while praising Kohli for his resilience.
“Who are these mysterious Kohli critics? Really, I don’t get it. For, after all, he is just a person. It’s not like you can just press a button every day and have Kohli score a hundred and win for India. There are highs and lows for every player. Because there have been times when I’ve felt confident in my bowling but failed to collect any wickets, I can attest to this “According to what Amir revealed to the Hindustan Times.
“There are also occasions when it seems like I bowl irrationally, perhaps a full toss or a down-the-leg delivery, and yet I still manage to take a wicket. Lucky breaks are required as well. Not to mention, Kohli’s dedication is unquestionable. And he thrives on difficulty. He has always responded positively to criticism, always proving his detractors wrong “Furthermore, he said.
Australia’s second-inning score was 175-2 after 78.1 overs when players from both teams shook hands to signal the end of the game. When the Australian and Indian captains decided not to play all of their allotted overs, Marnus Labuschagne (63) and Steve Smith (10) were at the crease.
As Sri Lanka lost to New Zealand in the Christchurch Test by two wickets, India was assured of a spot in the World Test Championships final. If Sri Lanka had beaten New Zealand in both of their matches, they would have advanced to the WTC final, where India would have played Australia.
Australia resumed the final day at 3 for no loss, and the first two wickets to fall were overnight hitter Matthew Kuhnemann (6) and Travis Head (90). India scored an impressive 571 in their first innings on Sunday, giving them a vital lead of 91 runs. They had 480 in Australia’s first essay.
