(AP Photo/Anjum Naveed)Virat Kohli 71st century: Virat Kohli’s 71st international century came at the unlikeliest of matches when he reached the coveted triple figures in a dead rubber Asia Cup match against Afghanistan.
In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul started for India with the former India captain batting like a house on fire from the get go.
Before this match, Kohli had last scored an international century against Bangladesh in a Pink Ball Test on November 23, 2019.
