Three years of waiting, finally the century; The King is back

The best batsman ever. Virat Kohli was a nightmare for even world-class bowlers. Centuries flowed from that bat in both Tests and ODIs. The records, including those of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, moved to Kohli. But three years ago, Kohli’s bat started to lose heat. The player has been seen many times without courage on the field.

Some even wrote that Kohli’s cricket career was over. Some stars have even advised that it is time to think regarding retirement. But the king of cricket has made a royal comeback. King Kohli is back. Kohli’s century is a consolation for Indian cricket despite the embarrassment of being eliminated in the Asia Cup.

That century was following a long wait of three years. It is a fan favorite because it is Virat’s century. To be exact, following 1020 days and 84 innings, Kohli crossed the three-figure mark in international cricket. Coming back to the dressing room following completing the century, Kohli told Bhuvneshwar Kumar that there is still cricket left in me. Kohli is telling us that nothing is lost

In the match once morest Afghanistan, Kohli faced 60 balls and remained unbeaten with 122 runs. This is Kohli’s first century in T20 Internationals. Kohli also holds the record for the highest individual score by an Indian player in T20Is. Rohit Sharma’s highest score so far was 118 once morest Sri Lanka in 2017

Kohli also managed to match Ricky Ponting’s record of most centuries in international cricket. Kohli currently has 71 centuries. Sachin Tendulkar is actually ahead of Kohli.
