Virat Kohli is in a league of his own. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that even when Kohli brought up his first international century after a long wait of over 2 years, fans, far and wide, celebrated the moment along with the Indian cricketer. The cricketer, fittingly enough, credited the long-awaited century to his family.
“I am standing here because of one person – my wife Anushka. She has stood by me all this while. This one is for Anushka and our daughter Vamika,” Kohli, who scored his last ton in 2019, said.
Kohli managed to score an unbeaten 122 runs off 61 balls, an innings that was laced with six sixes and 12 boundaries.
