Watch: Kohli bizarrely recreates famous Sachin and Gavaskar feats with 29th ton in deja vu moment during 2nd WI Test

Hindustan Times  

The long wait for Virat Kohli ended on Friday. After five long years, the former India captain notched up his first Test century away from home as he scored 121 runs in the second Test match against West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Virat Kohli creates deja vu moment during 2nd West Indies Test in Trinidad It was Kohli's 29th Test century, which put him third behind Steve Smith and Joe Root among active players, and 76th across format, which consolidates his spot at number 2 in all-time list where he only remains behind Sachin Tendulkar. With the 29th Test ton, Kohli bizarrely created a deja vu moment, giving reminder to a certain Sachin century. In 1983, when India and West Indies were playing their 50th Test match in the rivalry, Gavaskar had scored his 29th Test century before being dismissed for 121, exactly like Kohli, who did it in the 100th match of the rivalry.
