Indian batting genius Virat Kohli seems to be a man on a mission – a mission to decimate every bowling attack in the world.
On Friday, the 29-year-old Delhi lad was again in a destructive mood and the South African bowlers♌ had no answers as they were carted around by Kohli at will.
The Indian captain went on to score his 35th O🎉DI century and in the process broke quite a few batting records.
Following Kohli’s century, Twitter burst into life with cricketing world showering praise on India’s run-machine. Among those who applauded Kohli’s skill and consistency were Pakistan women cricketers Syeda Nain Abidi and Kainat Imtiaz.
“So focussed and concentrated as a batsman! 100 number 35! Absolutely amazing batting !! He is a Genius!!,” tweeted Abidi.

Kohli was in superb form as he hit 129 not out off 9ಌ6 balls to take India to an eight-wicket win with 17.5 overs to spare.
It completed a crushi🔯ng 5-1 series victory for India, who started the series second behind South Africa 🍒in the ODI rankings but finished as the undisputed number one side.
Also, the ODI series was a personal triumph for Kohli, who hit three centuries and became the first player to scor💦e more than 500 runs in a bilate𒆙ral series. He finished with 558 runs at an average of 186.00.
