Indian talismanic captain Rohit Sharma contradicted Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma's claim that Virat Kohli was batting through sickness on Day 4 of the fourth and final Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Sharma's Instagram story raised several eyebrows with Kohli fans expressing concern about his health.
Putting an end to his Test century drought, Kohli led India's batting onslaught, top-scoring for the side as the hosts toppled Australia's mammoth 1st innings total. India, riding on his blistering knock, posted a colossal total of 571 in the first session at Ahmedabad, forging a 91-run lead. The 34-year-old put on a batting masterclass to notch up a cracking century in 241 balls against Australia. His 75th international century was the second-slowest ton in his iconic career.
