Virat Kohli’s extraordinary shot gets praised all over, watch video

The right-handed batsman scored his 27th ODI hundred and equaled batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, as he scored his 17th ton in chasing efforts. His innings had eight fours and five sixes.

Over the years, Kohli has played some brilliant knocks and it was a similar story in Pune. He brought up his century with six. Just after achieving that feat, Kohli struck another six over square-leg. This shot caught everyone by surprise. Chris Woakes, the bowler, had bowled a slower bouncer which is normally gets tapped around for a single. But Kohli just smacked it over the fence.

Social media went berserk after Kohli left the spectators and commentators in awe.

Will not forget shot @imVkohli played today: back foot straight bat six over mid wicket.The great Sir Viv, @sachin_rt would have applauded!

Virat Kohli is the ultimate batsman! One of the greats already! The best around at adapting to the situation put in front of him! #EngVsInd

Kohli will be eager to bat against England in the second ODI and play similar kind of knock to take 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
