Twitter reacts as Virat Kohli scores 50th International century
Is there anything that can stop Virat Kohli at the moment from scoring centuries? It has become a routine for the Indian skipper like eat, sleep, wake up and smash a century.
Scoring hundreds were once considered tough is proved wrong by Virat Kohli whose flair and aptitude in achieving the feat is like a hot knife through butter for him.
The ‘unstoppable’ Virat Kohli has completed a half-century of international centuries. With the way he is blazing, there is no doubt that he would go on break more records.
Having all the big shots in his armoury, he has the potential to score the runs in crunch situations. He has scored 11 centuries as Indian captain and the maiden one at Eden.
During the first Test against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Virat Kohli not only broke the hoodoo but also helped his team steer to the comfort zone with his 18th Test century.
What really adds a feather to his illustrious Test career is that he launched a terrific six to complete his century. Then he declared straightaway giving Lanka a target of 231.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Virat Kohli’s milestone:

Top drawer century from @imVkohli. Held the side together when there was danger and just so easily changed style and attacked.

Strike rate of 57 before Lunch. Watchful.
Strike rate rocketed to 131 after Lunch. Two contrasting, but equally important, aspects of his batting skill on display. In a different league. #RunMachineKohli— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) November 20, 2017
#ViratKohli is the greatest things that has happened to Indian cricket after #SachinTendulkar. What a player, what an innings, what a captain, what a leader. #indvsl @imVkohli @sachin_rt
