Indian skipper Virat Kohli continued his dominance in world cricket with yet another century in the longest format of the game. Fighting a lone battle against the Aussies at Perth, Kohli brought up his 25th Test ton with a copybook straight drive off Mitchell Starc.
Kohli, who has made it a habit of smashing records, also equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s feat of six Test centuries on Australian soil. Wow.
While the moment called for a celebration, Virat Kohli marked the moment in extraordinary fashion. In a bid to silence his critics, Kohli pointed towards his bat and made a talking gesture with his right hand, making it evident for the world that he lets his bat rant about his class.

I won’t be surprised if someone comes up with a Twitter account for Virat’s bat in the coming days. Lol.
