Virat Kohli, a true legend of modern cricket, continued his scorching form with the bat by hitting an unbeaten 166 in the third one-day international match against Sri Lanka, which helped his team earn a victory that went down in history.
The superstar batsman, Virat Kohli, has made it quite obvious what he plans to do in the year when India will host the One-Day International World Cup by scoring his second century of the series.
After taking his time to get the 71st international century from the 70th, Kohli now has 74 scores in the triple figures to his name in a relatively short amount of time.
Virat Kohli has been dubbed the “GOAT” of international cricket by former Sri Lankan great Farveez Mahroof. This accolade comes at a time when the cricket community is praising his prowess.
“The undisputed greatest player in the history of international cricket. If Lionel Messi is the greatest player of all time in football, then Virat Kohli is the greatest player of all time in international cricket “During an appearance on the show Match Day, Farveez Maharoof made the following statement.
“The screenplay reads quite well for the year 2023. He won the World Cup in his homeland in 2011, and he will win this World Cup as well if he maintains his current level of play.
I don’t believe there is anyone in the world who does it better than he does when it comes to the way he paces his innings, the way he faces bowlers, and the way he knows the situation “he continued.
Wasim Jaffer, a former opener for India who appeared on the same broadcast as Kohli, commented that he wasn’t surprised to see Kohli make his third hundred in as many games.
After finally overcoming the dry spell that had plagued him for the previous two to three years, Jaffer had the impression that the 33-year-old batter would maintain this form for a considerable amount of time.
“When Virat Kohli finds his form, he tends to keep it for an extended period of time. It should come as no surprise that he has scored three hundreds in the last four innings of ODIs, with one of those scores being 166.
It doesn’t surprise me. He went through a rough spell that lasted for two to three years. He desired to make runs, but circumstances prevented him from doing so. Bowlers were bowling their best balls, and decisions were going against him, but he is one of those people that puts in the effort, who works very hard whether it’s in the gym or training. When the tide flips, he is going to be one of the men who wins.
Results are sure to materialise for those guys who put in so much work, and when those results do materialise, they will look something like this: “remarked Jaffer while appearing on the same show.
“When he plays at that level, it’s encouraging for Indian cricket to see how well he’s doing. It is the year of the World Cup, and the fact that Virat Kohli is in such good form is such a major story “In conclusion, he said.
