8th September 2022 will forever be remembered as the date when Virat Kohli finally scored his 71st international hundred. The undisputed King of the cricketing world was seen at his vintage best as he smashed the ball to all parts of the ground against Afghanistan last night. Kohli’s hundred was widely celebrated across the cricketing fraternity who had been waiting for the big moment for 1020 days.
What made the moment even more priceless was Kohli’s reaction after reaching the milestone. The batter just smiled upon reaching the landmark and didn’t have any wild celebration. However, the nation celebrated Kohli’s century like a festival. On that note, let’s take a look at three reasons behind the nation going berserk after Kohli’s ton:

With the 20-20 world cup approaching, the entire nation was eagerly waiting for Kohli to return to his usual best. The 34-year-old, who has been awarded the prestigious ‘player of the tournament’ twice at the 20-20 world cup, will now be seen at his absolute best at the marquee event. The star batter has single-handedly carried the Indian batting in all the editions of the world cup he’s played. The return of Kohli back to form is the biggest positive for India from the Asia cup despite failing to qualify for the finals of the event.
