NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli's outstanding performance, marking his record-equalling 49th ODI century during the World Cup clash against South Africa in Kolkata, triggered a wave of reactions globally. The modern-day cricket sensation achieved this milestone on the occasion of his 35th birthday, drawing level with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
Kohli's magnificent innings of 101 runs off 121 balls, embellished with 10 boundaries, significantly propelled India to a formidable total of 326/5 while batting first against a team that was considered one of the top contenders in the tournament. Subsequently, South Africa succumbed to a dismal total of 83 runs in just 27.1 overs.
