Indian maestro Virat Kohli has given the perfect riposte to any foolhardy doubters by compiling yet another matchwinning unbeaten century to all but send hosts Pakistan spinning out of their own Champions Trophy.
In a clash transported to Dubai from Pakistan, Kohli's mastery remained immovable as he crafted 100 not out, a record-extending 51st ODI century of his career, to steer India to a six-wicket win over the champions on Sunday.
Once again rising to the occasion in what shaped as his biggest match of the year, milestone man Kohli made it another landmark day by becoming the quickest batter to the 14,000-run mark in ODIs in his 287th innings.
