Meanwhile, the Indian batting great happened to play an entertaining helicopter shot just after the moment he completed his century.
Kohli smashed this six off Kasun Rajitha on the fourth ball of the 44th over of the first innings. Rajitha opted to go for a slower one outside the off-stump. But Kohli beautifully powered that over the long-on region with a helicopter shot for a massive six.
The video of this amazing shot from Kohli is now making rounds on social media as it was shared immediately by a Twitter user on the micro-blogging site.
