Virat Kohli is awesome. He is hitting centuries like only Sachin Tendulkar did before. The comparisons keep coming, but they can wait. 123 out of 111 balls was an amazing effort. He put his heart into it like he always does.

Alas! His bravado was in vain and India lost. That also means that he can never again be the proud owner of such an unique record – as long as it lasted – ‘India never loses when Kohli scores ton in a chase’.

It’s okay Virat! It’s only natural, happens with everybody! Streaks are made to be broken…keeps the fun alive!
