- Virat Kohli’s century drought in all forms of cricket continues. He had last brought a century in West Indies on August 14, 2019.
- He scored a crucial fifty in the last game but failed to perform in the do-or-die game with India 0-1 behind in the 3-match series.
- The pressure of captaincy had burdened Kohli for the past few years but the string of failures seem to continue for him.
- Kohli had smashed 3 centuries during his last visit to SA in the ODI series three years ago but he has failed to replicate his heroics.
- With just a game in ODI series, questions could now be raised on his batting after captaincy. However, he ranks ahead of all players in the current setup across formats.
