Now, both teams will lock horns in the second of the three-match ODI series at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, the 12th of January. Rohit Sharma-led Indian team has taken a lead of 1-0 in the three-match series against the visitors.

Speaking of the brilliant knock from Virat Kohli, the 34-year-old amassed 113 runs off 87 balls with nine boundaries and three sixes on his credit. Notably, it was also the 45th ODI century for the veteran Delhi batter who has equaled former legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar in terms of scoring the most hundreds (20) in ODIs while playing at home.

Now, Virat is only four centuries behind Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of 49 ODI centuries in international cricket.
