Notably, Kohli is struggling to cross the triple-figure mark at the international level since late 2019. His last three-figure knock came against Bangladesh in India's maiden day-night Test in November 2019. Since then, he has done well in parts -- especially in white-ball formats -- but a big score has evaded him.
Kohli was last seen in action during the just-concluded India-West Indies T20Is at home. He will skip the forthcoming India-Sri Lanka home T20Is and return for the two Tests, starting on March 04.
