IND vs WI Live: Virat Kohli brings up 5000 ODI runs at home but century drought continues
While Kohli did get himself into the record books, his century drought continued for yet another game. The former Indian captain last scored a century back in 2019 and has struggled to go past the three-figure ever since. Nonetheless, Kohli did score two half-centuries in a humiliating series defeat in South Africa, and now having given up captaincy, the 33-year-old will hope to end his drought soon.
