It’s essential to never underestimate legends—those who imbue the game with significance. In the current Men’s Champions Trophy, Virat Kohli delivered a stunning century, leading India to a remarkable victory over their long-time rivals, Pakistan.
His flawless innings garnered overwhelming praise worldwide, with accolades from former Indian captain Anjum Chopra, cricketing icon Jhulan Goswami, emerging talent Shreyanka Patil, and spinner Asha Sobhana, all celebrating Kohli’s excellence on such a monumental occasion.
On a rest day for the Women’s Premier League 2025, the stage was set for an epic clash, and once more, the chase master did not falter, creating a memorable Sunday for the entire nation. His composure and remarkable skill during his 51st century were nothing short of impressive.
India triumphed over Pakistan, who offered little challenge against the dominant Indian squad. Following their win, the Men in Blue, who have nearly secured a semifinal spot, received widespread praise across social media, including from female cricketers.
“And … the King finishes off in style. A 100 to take the team home. Well played #TeamIndia. #PAKvIND #ChampionsTrophy,” Anjum Chopra posted on X after Kohli capped off the match with a boundary that brought him to his century.
Cricket legend Jhulan Goswami remarked that it was a performance that felt like the “cherry on the cake,” adding that Virat Kohli had once again showcased his extraordinary talent.
Shreyanka Patil, an up-and-coming star and RCB sensation, also acknowledged Kohli on reaching his 82nd international century.
