5 records broken by Virat Kohli during his 91-ball 113 against Bangladesh

Virat Kohli scored his first ODI century since August 14, 2019 earlier today (December 10) in the Chattogram ODI match against Bangladesh. With this knock, Kohli has ended a three-year-long wait to see a triple-digit score next to his name on the scorecard of an ODI innings.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das won the toss in the third ODI against India and asked the visitors to bat first. The home team started well as they dismissed Shikhar Dhawan early. India were 17/1 after the end of five overs.

Virat Kohli took time to settle in the middle. He even mistimed a flick and almost handed a catch to Litton Das in the seventh over of the innings. However, Das could not complete the catch.

Kohli made the most out of that dropped catch and played one of his best knocks in recent times. He supported Ishan Kishan to perfection by rotating the strike. Kishan scored 210 runs, while Kohli aggregated 113 runs off 91 balls.

Both Kishan and Kohli broke multiple records during their partnership. Here is a compilation of the five records broken by Kohli.
