Have a look at some of the best tweets going abuzz across twitter after Virat Kohli continued his phenomenal century scoring run
India captain Virat Kohli slammed his 35th ODI century to guide India to an eight-wicket victory over South Africa in the 6th ODI in Centurion.
On the back of Kohli's scintillating 129* off 96 balls, the visitors chased down 205 with relative ease. The win capped India's first-ever series win on South African soil with the visitors clinching the ODI series 5-1. Unsurprisingly, the Indian skipper was also named the Man-of-the-Series for hitting three centuries in the six-match ODI series.
Kohli's greatness keeps rising as he breaks and builds records day-in and day-out. He just 14 tons away from matching Sachin Tendulkar's record for most ODI centuries of 49 hundreds. Kohli's magnificent century had everybody talking on social media. Have a look at some of the best tweets from current to former players and few fans as well, who had nothing but praises to shower upon the Indian run-machine.
Virat Kohli and then daylight.

Michael Holding during Commentary - "Vivian Richards Called me during break and said I was never as good as Kohli is" Modesty from the great Sir Viv , but this has been the Virat Kohli series. Not in years has a batsman dominated the opposition in this manner. #KingKohli pic.twitter.com/yKrAu5GKtV — Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) February 16, 2018

Virat Kohli for long has been India's best batter while Pat Cummins is currently the No 1 bowler in the ICC Test rankings.
Not only for Virat Kohli, but the Australia series is also a crucial assignment for the Men in Blue, as they seek a place in the World Test Championship Final.
There were rumours of a rift between Kohli and Rohit following India’s unceremonious semi-final exit from the 2019 ODI World Cup, and had intensified again in late 2021, when Kohli was sacked as the skipper of the Indian team.
