10/22/2017

The Twitterati went mental as Virat Kohli scored his 31st ODI hundred overtaking Ricky Ponting's number of 30 centuries. But Tom Latham (103*) and Ross Taylor (95) crashed Kohli's party as they chased down a record target of 281 at the Wankhede and took the early lead in the 3-match series.

Brief scores: India 280/8 (Virat Kohli 121, Dinesh Karthik 37; Trent Boult 4-35, Tim Southee 3-73) LOST to New Zealand 284/4 (Tom Latham 103*, Ross Taylor 95; Hardik Pandya 1/46, Jasprit Bumrah 1/56) by six wickets.

Here are the funny tweets from the game:

Special game for the special player!

Whether it's the public or photographers, the focus is always on Kohli
— TheGoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala)

Boult strikes early!

Piss poor innings from Rohit Sharma. Felt like he was under the misconception that its another IPL game at Wankhede.
— Shubh AggarWall (@shubh_chintak)

Dhawan got out, no one gives a damn here. Crowd is Kohli , KOHLI!
— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket)

Dhawan is back!

Coach : humein ek strong opening partnership chahiye

Indian fans after Dhawan's wicket....

**My message to Shikhar Dhawan**

"Sir ...
— L Lag Gaye (@L_LagGaye)

And this has to be the tweet of the day!

This is what happens when you face Arjun Tendulkar in the nets and Trent Boult in the match! 😂

After Santner dropped Kohli....

Captain's reaction after a teammate drops Kohli.
— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer)

And Captain Kohli capitalized on the dropped catch!

Virat Kohli's Daily Schedule:

Wake Up

Eat

Hit-Century

Sleep

Repeat.

31st ODI Century 🙏
— Sir Ravindra Jadeja (@SirJadeja)

After 200 games, Kohli has 8888 runs at sn average of 55.55 .

What a brilliant 121 this one was. 280 is a fighting total.
— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag)

Got to feel for Rohit Sharma!

Virat is official Captain. Dhoni is actual captain. Rohit Sharma is virtual vice captain.
