It was a vintage Kohli hundred that took fans back to the old days of his heydays when the India superstar would peel off centuries for fun.
Quick running between the wickets, converting singles into doubles and scoring at a brisk rate without the assistance of boundaries – Kohli’s innings had it all.
He scored 122 off just 94 balls with nine fours and three sixes and outscored KL Rahul who was at one point of innings way ahead of him.
Despite Rahul’s boundary totals being more, Kohli’s strike rotation helped him a lot as he in no time was scoring more than run-a-ball and shifted gears effortlessly. He then tormented the Pakistani bowlers, smashing them all around while constantly finding the gaps.
For his century, Kohli was also chosen as the player of the match.
