Virat Kohli might not have scored a century in Test cricket since November 2019, but the former India captain has hardly looked out of form. Kohli has played some good knocks since then and has lost his wicket at a time when no one expected him to. When he came out to bat in Mohali on day 1 of India's first Test against Sri Lanka, he was his usual focussed self.
Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq hit a sublime maiden Test century to put the hosts on top on day one of Australia's first tour of the country for 24 years.
Pant is an anomaly in Indian cricket. He changes the course of a game faster than the opinions about him. Friday was just another day of now-usual Pant-mania as he walked in at 170/3 40 minutes before tea, took on a rather erratic but effective Sri Lankan attack and left the field half an hour before stumps after ravaging the tourists with a 97-ball 96 on the opening day of the two-Test series. As it happened | ScorecardThe 172 minutes of exhilarating batting, which was ended by Suranga Lakmal breaching his defence with the second new ball, had put India in a position of dominance with 357/6 on the board at stumps.

Virat Kohli had "butterflies" in his stomach and "felt nervous" like a debutant when he walked out to bat in his 100th Test but he is not bothered by lack of hundreds as he feels he is batting well. Kohli scored 45 and looked set before being bowled by Lasith Embuldeniya on the opening day of India's first Test against Sri Lanka here on Friday. "I am preparing as I have always prepared. As long as I am batting well, I am not bothered. We are somehow crazy about milestones and materialistic achievements," Kohli told mediapersons when asked if he wants to revisit his process since big runs have dried up.
