Despite his knock, India could only tie the game against West Indies but that did not stop Twitter from going berserk in praising Kohli. From Virender Sehwag to Sachin Tendulkar and Rishabh Pant, young and old, legends and modern dashers, Twitterati was full of praise for King Kohli.
Apart from the two major milestones, Kohli achieved plenty of other records along the way. He blasted 1000 runs in a calendar year in ODIs for the sixth time out of his 10 playing years. He overtook Tendulkar’s record of most runs in ODIs against West Indies, surpassing his mark of 1573 runs. He also went past 4000 ODI runs at home, once again breaking Tendulkar’s feat.
With so many records broken in a single day, Kohli has shown that he is the King of Cricket when it comes to rewriting the history books.
