Observe: Rohit Sharma speaks to Virat Kohli in ‘ fine Hindi ’ for the first time

Kohli on Thursday scored his demoiselle T20I century with an unbeaten 122 off 61 balls and ended his 1020- day long delay to score his 71st transnational century.

“Virat, many congratulations to you, your 71st century. The whole of India was waiting, I’m sure you were waiting longer. You got to see a lot in the innings you played, you found good intervals, hit the shots well, so tell about your innings, how it started, and how was the passion after that” Rohit questioned Virat in an interview.

” So pure Hindi is speaking with me for the first time” Kohli replied.

They both started laughing, and after some seconds, Rohit responded I planned to blend a little Hindi, English but right now I’ve got such a good rhythm of Hindi so I thought let’s talk in Hindi only.

With Rohit Shama ruled out of a critical hassle against Afghanistan, Kohli opened the batting with stand-in commander KL Rahul and formed the most of the chance.

Kohli reached the fugitive three-figure mark after nearly three times, albeit in the” least anticipated” format. His 71st century also places him alongside the great Ricky Ponting in the list of utmost centuries. Sachin Tendulkar is still a long way ahead with 100 transnational hundreds.

“I was surprised to score a century in this format. nothing anticipated me to score my long-awaited century in this format, ” Kohli said.

“I was pleasantly surprised and am veritably thankful and honored.”

Virat Kohli came only the sixth Indian batsman after Suresh Raina, KL Rahul( 2), Rohit Sharma( 4), Deepak Hooda, and Suryakumar Yadav to register a triadic- figure T20I score for India.

During his innings, Kohli also broke the 3500- run mark in the shortest transnational format, getting only the alternate Indian batsman after Rohit Sharma to do so, who has scored 3620 runs in the format so far.
