In numbers: Virat Kohli remains the best Indian batter overall, but the wait for big scores continues

The description - 'the only batter with 50-plus average in all three formats' - doesn’t hold true anymore for the former India captain, as Kohli’s Test average has gone down below 50 after a long time (49.95 to be precise).Despite the dip, experts and fans admit that he hasn't really lost form, is hitting the ball well and timing his shots perfectly, but somehow the big scores continue to elude a batter who at one time was the most prolific batter in international cricket.What is interesting though is the fact that since his last hundred (across international cricket and the IPL on November 23, 2019), Kohli is still the highest run-getter for India in international cricket with 2478 overall runs at an average of 37.54 in 73 international innings. Overall he is fourth on the list of highest run getters during that period, which is led by Pakistan's Babar Azam (3694 runs @55.96 in 74 innings with 10 hundreds).Top 5 international run-getters since Kohli's last hundred on November 23, 2019:

Kohli's last century (70th international ton) across both international and IPL cricket was scored in November 2019, that's almost two and half years ago. Since then, Kohli has played a combined 73 innings in Tests, ODIs and T20Is without hitting a century. He came very close to ending that wait, when he scored 94* vs the West Indies in a T20I on December 6, 2019. That remains his best T20I score. Before his last century (in November, 2019), he had 70 tons in 438 international innings, which is equivalent to scoring one hundred every 6.3 games. Now, that
