Kalpit: "Virat Kohli, Welcome to the Cricket World where you have left. Cricket is not that cruel to lose a talent like you."
Lavitra: "I had tears in my eyes watching Kohli play his signature shots so confidently again and him hitting the ball all around the ground was just a treat for everyone's eyes"
What an innings. Now it is over to Madushka for the second innings.
"Last two and a half years have taught me a lot. I am going to turn 34 in a month," says Virat Kohli. So those angry celebrations are a thing of the past. Actually I was shocked. This is the last format I thought. It was an accumulation of a lot of things. The team has been open and helpful. I know there was a lot of stuff going outside. And I kissed my ring. You see me standing here because one person has put things in perspective for me. That's Anushka. This hundred is for her and for our little daughter Vamika as well. When you have someone next to you having conversations putting things in perspective, like Anushka has been... when I came back I was not desperate. Six weeks off I was refreshed. I realised how tired I was. Competitiveness doesn't allow it, but this break allowed me enjoy the game again."
The day belongs to Kohli. He walks off satisfied, accepts congratulations, a hug from batting coach Vikram Rathour. Ends up with 200 strike rate, and he was just phenomenal at the death.
Abhishek : "59 of 40 next 72 off just 21 balls, thats some hitting"
