The man, the myth, the legend, Virat Kohli, one of the greatest batters this generation has ever seen. The India vs New Zealand ODI match in Indore has been a roller coaster to say the least. India’s innings has been trembling from the start, with the quick removal of top order batters, fumbling middle order, but without any doubt, there has been one batter standing confidently in the crease.

The modern-day great brought up another historic milestone during the India vs New Zealand ODI in Indore, registering his 85th international century, which was also his 54th in ODIs, 41st on Indian soil, and seventh against New Zealand. With that knock, Kohli further cemented his status as the batter with the most ODI hundreds against New Zealand, going past some of the biggest names the game has ever seen.
