SAvIND | ‘Class of Sachin, attitude of Sehwag’: Twitter bows down to King Kohli after his 35th ODI ton
Virat Kohli slammed his 35th hundred in 50-over cricket during the sixth ODI against South Africa on Friday.
The crowd at the Supersport Park in Centurion were treated to an absolute masterclass by the Indian captain.
Chasing a meagre 205, India lost opener Rohit Sharma with 19 on the board. From there on, though, it was a Kohli show all the way.
The talismanic right-hander stroked 17 boundaries in his 82-ball hundred. This was the 29-year-old’s third ton in the six-match series.
Twitter was in awe of the Indian skipper on Friday. ‘King Kohli’ was a hashtag that was soon trending in India.
Here are some tweets
