Kohli man of the match on his birthday

Even before the start of the match at Eden Gardens, there was a wave of chants of ‘Kohli Kohli’. The Indian star batsman did not disappoint the fans.

On his 35th birthday, Sachin Tendulkar reached the highest record of 49 centuries in ODI history. The best birthday gift as if the Indian star gave himself!

India set a big target of 327 to the Proteas based on Kohli’s unbeaten innings of 101 runs off 121 balls. In response, Temba Bavuma’s team was bowled out for just 83 runs by Shami-Jadejad’s bowling ball. Kohli also won the Man of the Match award on the day of victory by a record margin of 243 runs.

Of course, Ravindra Jadeja also contributed to India’s victory. After a cameo of 29 runs from 15 balls with the bat, Jaddu took five wickets with the ball today. Had it not been for Kohli’s century, the best innings would have gone to him
