Virat Kohli etched his name into record books after he equalled Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most centuries scored in One-Day Internationals. Virat Kohli’s 49th ODI century became the major talking point on social media portals. The fans who turned up in numbers switched on their mobile flashlights soon after Virat Kohli’s 49th ODI century, which was truly a special moment for Virat Kohli as he achieved the feat on his birthday.

The right-handed batsman who came out to bat at No.3 approached the innings at a sedate pace. He took some calculative risks to play some shots whenever required. Since he was able to deftly rotate the strike, take quick singles and score boundaries according to the situation, he was able to cause all sorts of troubles to the South African bowlers against the run of play.

It is affecting the game and the other batters.. unfortunately

Country should be first priority not the milestone
