'Crazy Innings': Twitter Amazed As Virat Kohli Hits Unbeaten 166 Off 110 vs Sri Lanka In 3rd ODI
India vs Sri Lanka: Virat Kohli scored 166 not out off 110 balls in the third and final ODI against Sri Lanka.
Virat Kohli strolled his way to his third hundred in four innings after Shubman Gill's sublime century as India amassed 390 for five against Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. Skipper Rohit Sharma (42 off 49) and Gill (116 off 97) laid the platform for a massive total with a 95-run opening partnership before Kohli (166 not out off 110) did the needful with his 74th international hundred and 46th in the 50-over format.
Kohli, who had ended a nearly three year wait for an international hundred in the Asia Cup last year, is back to his best and has been scoring hundreds at will in a World Cup year. The 34-year-old is now only three short of equalling Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 centuries. What is remarkable is his conversion ratio as he got to his 46th ton in 259 innings while Tendulkar had taken 452 innings to get to 49 centuries.
Soon after Kohli returned to the dugout with his unbeaten 166 off 110 balls, Twitter went crazy, lauding the batting maestro.
