Virat Kohli scored his first hundred since 2019 and helped India put up a total of 212 for two against Afghanan in Asia Cup Super 4 match on Thursday. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul started for India with the former India captain batting like a house on fire from the get-go. Before this match, Kohli had last scored an international century against Bangladesh in a Pink Ball Test on November 23, 2019.
Twitter has gone berserk after Virat’s century and here are the reactions:

The tension, pressure or whatever it is, it’s totally missing on Virat Kohli’s face and hence he is playing so freely and confidently. Scoring runs everywhere on the ground. GOAT! #IndvsAFG pic.twitter.com/sBHOYUrBi7
