Watch: Virat Kohli brings up 29th Test ton with boundary on Day 2 of 2nd India-West Indies Test

It was an innings befitting his 500th international appearance and there couldn’t have been a better opportunity to end his five-year long overseas century lull.

The last time Virat Kohli hit a ton overseas was in December 2018 in Australia, with the former India captain ending the wait of nearly five years by bringing up his 29th Test hundred on Day 2 of the second Test against West Indies in Port of Spain on Friday.

Kohli would not have asked for anything less in a match that adds him to an elite club of players who have made the rare milestone; Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Ricky Pointing, and MS Dhoni to just name a few. He is the tenth player in the world to play 500 international games.

The Indian star batter’s 29th Test ton also made him the player with the most centuries in 500 games, a record hitherto held by Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

Kohli brought up the milestone with a crisp boundary off pacer Shannon Gabriel in the morning session of the second day at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
