The Indian superstar managed to reach his 73rd international century during the clash on Tuesday and eventually helped the team put on a mammoth total on the board at the end of the first innings after being forced to bat first, scoring 12 boundaries and one maximum along the course.
To add more to the ton, it was Kohli’s 45th ODI hundred, meaning he is just 4 centuries away from matching Sachin Tendulkar’s record (49 centuries) in the format. It remains to be seen if the right-handed batter could also carry on the form in the final ODI to be played on Sunday.
