Virat Kohli does not need us, we need him: Bumrah
Bumrah, however, stressed that Kohli knows his cricket better than anyone else and that his experience of batting in these challenging conditions was essential from the team’s perspective.
Indian cricket team skipper Virat Kohli on Wednesday smashed his 37th One Day International (ODIs) century and in the process became the fastest batsman to reach the mark of 10,000 runs in the limited overs format.
The stylish right-handed batsman has taken just 205 innings to achieve the feat, while Sachin Tendulkar, the last cricketer to hold the record, had reached the same milestone in 249 ODI innings. Virat’s century against West Indies was his third consecutive hundred against the Caribbean side. It was also Virat’s second ODI hundred in the ongoing five-match series.
After Virat Kohli went past the mark of 10,000 runs, accolades and praises poured in from across the globe for the Indian skipper. But among the many praises and Tweets, one tweet managed to get special attention among Indian fans. And this tweet came from England women cricket team’s stylish batter Danielle Wyatt.
