Former India skipper Virat Kohli scored his 28th Test century on Day four of the fourth Test against Australia in Ahmedabad. With the ton, Kohli ended his more than three-year long draught, 1,205 days to be precise, in Test cricket and Twitter couldn't keep calm on the big achievement.
The century, Kohli's 75th in an international match, came off 241 balls and the modern great thanked almighty before kissing his locket and getting back to work. Notably, Kohli last scored a century in Test cricket against Bangladesh at Eden Garden, Kolkata in November 2019.
Twitterati, however, put out the emotions in their words and they celebrated Kohli's - fondly called King Kohli - latest century. Here are a few reactions:
