In the first innings of the Cape Town Test against South Africa, Indian Test captain Virat Kohli played a very simple innings, but once again he missed the century. In the year 2019, he scored his last international century in the Day-Night Test match against Bangladesh in Kolkata and since then he has been yearning to score a century. Seeing the way he was batting in Cape Town, it seemed that he might be successful, but his luck was not on his side and he got out.
