Virat Kohli Century: 'Should We Bow-' Twitter Reacts As 'King Kohli' Brings Up His First Ton In Test Cricket Since 2019
Virat Kohli Century: This was the former India captain's 28th Test match hundred and his 75th overall in international cricket.
Ahmedabad: The long wait for Virat Kohli's Test match hundred came to an end at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (March 12, 2023). While there was a slump in his form across formats since 2019, he had found a to way to get back among the runs in limited-overs cricket last year. He continues his run-scoring spree in white-ball cricket but couldn't get the big scores in Test cricket. Even in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli had failed to get a significant score heading into the fourth Test match.
However, after having conceded 480 runs in the first innings when India needed their batting order to stand up, Kohli delivered an impressive performance. It was not one of those innings where he domianted right from the word go but he had to work hard for his runs and reached the three-figure mark off the 241st ball that he faced.
This was the former India captain's 28th Test match hundred and his 75th overall in international cricket. Following the batter getting to the hundred, social media has been flooded with all sorts of reactions on social media.
