December 24, 2009, to November 24, 2019. Yes, in almost 10 years, Virat Kohli scored 70 international tons. Meaning an average of 7 centuries in a year which is amazing.
But in the last 2 years, 3 months and 2 weeks, Kohli has gone 71 innings without a 100. What was once a romantic love story is now a toxic relationship.

Kohli has not scored a 100 since the pandemic. While 9 months of cricket were lost, that is still over 18 months without a ton and 71 innings is a long time. One thought he might break the jinx in his 100th Test but he made only 45.
Kohli’s last ton was in a D/N Test and he has a chance to break the jinx in a D/N Test. The match is vs Sri Lanka and it begins on March 12.

It took Kohli a little over a year to score his maiden ton and then a decade to hit 70 of them and now in more than 2 years, he has not scored even one.
Will the jinx end? Hopefully. When will it end? Hopefully soon.
