Since the start of the Australia series, the public perception has been to consider Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as a single legendary entity, especially when it comes to praising or criticising them. The veterans themselves appear to be closer to each other than they ever were, during their long international careers. Of course, they have always been professional mates but the current chapter feels different.
On Sunday (November 30), Kohli slammed his 83rd century in international cricket during the first ODI against South Africa in Ranchi. After two successive ducks to start the Australia series, this century was a much-needed knock for Kohli who roared in delight on reaching the milestone. There was that trademark leap and fist-pump to celebrate the moment, even as a fan invaded the ground to touch his feet.
Kohli's milestone moment saw the crowd going bonkers in Ranchi and the Indian dressing room were also standing to applaud their genius batter. Rohit was visibly chuffed to bits on seeing his senior mate getting to yet another international hundred. The former captain was pumped up and his reaction to the moment instantly took over the internet.
All sorts of hilarious memes and posts were put up by social media users on X.
