Notably, Virat was enduring a poor run of form with the bat since his last century against Bangladesh three years back in the year 2019. This sensational inning from the veteran right-hander has broken the internet as many cricketers including the likes of greats like Ab de Villiers and Mohammed Amir and fans are tweeting about this amazing comeback of the legendary batter of modern-day cricket.

Here’s how Twitter reacted after the 71st international century of Virat Kohli:

 

Speaking of the match so far, the Indians have posted a big total of 212 runs for the loss of only two wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Other than Virat’s outstanding century inning, stand-in skipper KL Rahul has also played a brilliant knock of 62 runs off just 41 balls with six boundaries and two sixes to his name.

Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav also contributed with individual scores of 20 and 6 runs respectively. Fareed Ahmed ended up as the only bowler who scalped two wickets for the Afghan team.

Afghanistan has arrived in the middle to chase the target of 213 runs in 120 balls. Their account of runs is yet to open after three balls of the first over in the second innings.

Notably, Indians are playing in this match without having regular skipper Rohit Sharma in the playing XI against Afghanistan. He has decided to take a rest from this match due to the tough conditions in the Arab region.
