The fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time as Virat scores his 71st century.
Virat Kohli is the former captain of the Indian team and a right-handed batsman.
His form lately hasn’t been good, as he has also gone through a lot.
From being the captain of the Indian team to leaving the captaincy.
After a long wait of 1020 days, the milestone that every fan has been waiting for has finally arrived.
The last time he scored a century was in 2019 in the Pink Ball Test against Bangladesh.
He ended the drought by teaching the three-figure mark against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup Super 4 match on September 8.
Twitter got flooded with tweets, as everyone around the globe was happy.
The king is back, according to many of them, as Virat scored his maiden T-20I century.
