India’s newly appointed limited-overs skipper Virat Kohli, gave another presentation of his imperious form, smashing his 27th ODI century during the first One-Day International against England as India chased down a target of 351 to win by three wickets in Pune on Sunday.
Kohli dug India out of a tricky situation as they were left tottering at 63/4 chasing England’s mammoth target of 351.
Kohli played a captain’s knock smashing 122 runs of just just 105 balls. He equalled batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar’s record 17 centuries in the second innings of an ODI.
Twitter expectedly lapped up the knock that kept India in the chase despite the early hiccups.
Here’s a compilation:
Kohli was not alone in the fightback though, he had great support from Kedar Jadhav, who brought up his second ODI century. The pair added 200 runs for the fifth wicket to keep the improbable chase alive despite the early stutter.
And Twitter made sure it did not ignore Jadhav’s effort, who even endured cramps and still soldiered on for the team.
