Today I was happy to be batting out there and in that space I end up playing good cricket. [January 15, 2023] [On Kohli] It is amazing to see what he does. Virat Kohli has been in sensational nick of late. I want to continue doing that and am content. I watched him growing up and it is incredible to see what he does.

Virat Kohli put on a show in the final match of the series against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram as he notched up his 46th ODI ton.

Gill brought up his second ODI ton (116 off 97 balls) after which Kohli applied the finishing touches as India set Sri Lanka a massive target of 391. His sensational knock was laced with 13 fours and eight maximums, the highest sixes he has smashed in an ODI innings. The hundred was his 21st at home in ODIs, taking him past Sachin Tendulkar's tally of 20.

In recent times he has rarely made batting look as enjoyable as he did in his 110-ball 166 in Kerala that lifted India to the match winning 390.

But Kohli stretched his arms, dragged his body closer to the pitch of the ball so that he could get more power into it and swirled his wrists ferociously to cuff the ball over long-on. Then there was the chipped extra-cover drive, standing on his toes and arching his body to manufacture the room for the shot. He was on his knees when he completed the shot and crackled in laughter as it sailed into the stands. I am in a nice space right now, just being organic,” Kohli said at the end of the match. But Kohli would counter this by stepping out and meeting the ball on the full. A contented smile adorned his face as he walked back to the pavilion to the applause of the spectators, teammates and adversaries. There was not only mastery and magic, artistry and freedom, but more importantly enjoyment, a quality that was missing from his game as recently as the middle of last year. He waved his hands at them and smiled, his face still aglow in the light of his latest hundred, his 46th in this format, his 21st at home, the most by any batsman, and his third century in his last four innings. But here, he seemed like a man who loved the sport as deeply and madly as he had when he first fell in love with it. The knock was filled with Kohli shots. Just before the start of Sri Lanka’s chase, Virat Kohli bounded out of the dressing room, and as he ran past the dugout onto the ground, he cast a half-skyward glance. He looked up to see the frenzied joy of the fans, most of them wrapped in No.
