1020 days!
1020 days after his hundred against Bangladesh in November 2019, Kohli finally gets that elusive 71st international ton.It had been a long time coming!
Kohli fans will be breathing a sigh of relief, Kohli himself must be relieved. After all, the hundred everyone was waiting for with bated breath, has finally been accomplished.
And it came at a time when really no one was expecting it. A dead rubber against Afghanistan, a match where Kohli wasn't batting at 3 but opening the innings.
The Indian maestro played a brilliant knock, laced with fours and sixes, the highest individual T20I score for an Indian.
It was vintage Kohli that was on show, one who took his time before stepping on the accelerator. And it was a finish to behold!
Having scored 60 from his first 41 deliveries, he smashed 62 runs from his next 20 balls. 2 fifties and a hundred in his last 4 games, truly the Kohli of old is back! While there's no Asia Cup final to look forward to, Indian fans will be happy, for at least their King is back!
