India managed to win the deciding ODI against New Zealand in an exciting game at Kanpur. The Indians set up a big score of 337 as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma managed to score brilliant centuries and allow the middle order to up the score.
As the two batsmen played with purpose and exuberance, Twitter was not able to hold back as they managed to break records for themselves personally. As Kohli reached his 32nd century, he also went past the 9000 run ODI mark, becoming only the sixth Indian to do so. The Indians were able to finally win the game comfortably.

Well played Rohit Sharma. I hope Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni are the ones coming out. Unleash those shots in the nets.

A century by Rohit Sharma is always an occasion because there are few better looking batsmen than him in the game. This has been a treat.

Most International 100’s as Captain:
41 ~ Ricky Ponting
33 ~ Graeme Smith
20 ~ Virat Kohli
19 ~ Michael Clarke— Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket) October 29, 2017
The most endearing quality of Kohli is to take the backseat…he can match Rohit shot for shot but never falls in that trap. Team First.
