Indian batter Virat Kohli finally registered a much-needed century in cricket. On Thursday, the 33-year-old smashed a bludgeoning 122* against Afghanistan in a Super Four match at the 2022 Asia Cup in Dubai. In what was a dead-rubber contest, India, asked to bat first, saw Kohli deliver as he lit up Dubai with raining boundaries. With Rohit Sharma resting for the match, Kohli opened the innings alongside KL Rahul and the ploy worked. The two added a 119-run stand for the first wicket. Kohli took centre stage post that, getting to a majestic ton and helping India post 212/2 in 20 overs. Rahul and Rishabh Pant supported Kohli. In response, Afghanistan were restricted to 111/8 as Bhuvneshwar Kumar (5/4) stood tall. Kohli’s biggest takeaway in this record-breaking effort was that he ended 1000-plus days without a century. His last century came versus Bangladesh in November 2019 at Eden Gardens in a Day/Night Test. Here we decode 7 records Kohli smashed enroute his 122*.
