It was the day that will satisfy hearts of number of cricket fans across the globe. Virat Kohli has smashed his first T20I century and more than that first one in international cricket since November 2019.
The feat came in the game against Afghanistan during Team India’s last game of the ongoing Asia Cup. Kohli walked back not out by finishing at 122 runs.
The star batter, who opened the batting with Rohit Sharma rested, put on a quickfire stand of 119 runs with KL Rahul for the opening wicket, before going berserk toward the end to get to the big milestone in 53 balls to continue his impressive run of form since his return to Team India in the continental tournament.
Before the century knock, Kohli had scored two fifties in the Asia Cup as well (59 not out against Hong Kong and 60 against Pakistan).
The 33-year old also completed 3500 runs during the course of the innings, becoming the second men’s player to the landmark in T20Is after Rohit Sharma. He also completed 100 sixes in his T20I career, becoming the 10th men’s player to reach the milestone.
