Virat Kohli turns Bahubali in India vs England 2017 ODI series! This picture on Instagram will crack cricket fans up

The Indian Cricket Team captain Virat Kohli has earned rightly deserved the tag of Bahubali for hitting a sensational hundred against England in first ODI against England. There is just one name on top of every cricket fans’ mind in India, and that is of Virat Kohli. The 28-year-old dashing cricketer leading India in all three formats of the game is excelling as a captain as well as a player. The batting machine slammed his 27th ODI century at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune to bail Indian Cricket Team against the visitors and register a 3-wicket win. The young captain is honoured with titles and sobriquets, but the one picture on Instagram referring Virat Kohli as Bahubali has got our complete approval. Just like South actor Prabhas was seen carrying the shivling on his shoulder in SS Rajamouli directed 2015 blockbuster film Baahubali: The Beginning, Virat Kohli is seen carrying Indian Team on his shoulder in this poorly photoshopped yet admirable Bahubali meme on the social media.

Virat Kohli took over the captaincy reigns from India’s most successful skipper, MS Dhoni and looked all set to take Team India to another level of Excellencies. For the first time, Kohli is leading the side as full-time captain in the ongoing India vs England 2017 ODI series. The man-in-charge is on the top of his game, much to the joy of Team India fans. In the first ODI, India was struggling at 63/4 while chasing a mammoth total of 350 set by Eoin Morgan and Co. The target seemed far-fetched with Indian side down and out, but Kohli showed the world anything is possible until the time he is on the crease.

The 28-year-old Delhi lad made 122 runs from 105 balls. Kohli smashed eight fours and five sixes in his dazzling innings which left the England side in pure shock. The Indian captain was well supported by Kedar Jadhav, who impressed everyone right in his debut match. The pint-sized cricketer from Maharashtra hit 76-ball 120, which included 12 boundaries and four massive sixes. Kohli and Jadhav shared incredible 200-run partnership to snatch victory from England.
