Twitter Hails ‘Chase Master’ Virat After Another Kohli Century

Captain Virat Kohli scored a century during India’s must-win ODI against Australia at Adelaide.

As India chased a target of 298 against Australia in the second ODI at Adelaide, captain Virat Kohli did what he does best when his team is chasing – score a century!

The ‘King of Chases’ smashed his 39th ODI century off 108 balls on Tuesday, 15 January.

Earlier, Shaun Marsh smashed his seventh hundred before India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar produced a brilliant spell in the death overs to limit Australia to 298-9 in Adelaide.

As Kohli achieved the landmark, social media was abuzz with praise for the Indian skipper, who had all but completed the job for his team.

What more can one say about @imVkohli? Yet another century in a run chase. Peerless

We saw the great Sir Viv/Sachin, we saw the destructive Lloyd/Adam Gilchrist/, we saw the finisher in Hussey/Bevan/Dhoni, but in terms of pure control/command of ODI batting,@imVkohli in league of his own! #INDvsAUS

A few years ago, with 🇮🇳 needing 70 odd off last 8 overs, @msdhoni would have been the main man and master of the chase while @imVkohli would have been the student. Now it easily seems the other way round. Thats smooth transition for you🙌 #AUSvIND #FoxCricket #Kohli #Dhoni pic.twitter.com/Xg4VgT2gAL
