A brilliant hundred from Kohli. Scored more in this first innings than he did in 10 innings in 2014. Added 99 so far with Shami, Ishant and Yadav , who have scored 8 between them. #ENGIND pic.twitter.com/POeNkl9Oip

A masterclass from Virat Kohli, leading from the front. A display of tremendous character determination and grit #ENGIND

The great players eventually overturn aberrations in their stats. Kohli has just done that.

Just stood up in our studio and applauded. One of Kohli’s best. Full of grit and patience. Proper test match batting. #Class.

First Century. First of Many. Well played, Virat Kohli. Best batsman on the planet. #EngvInd

Roar as loud as you can… Make them hear.. make them feel the goosebumps!!!! #Kohli
— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer) August 2, 2018
A lot of heat on Kohli and produces a 100 in his first innings. #class ?
— Usman Khawaja (@Uz_Khawaja) August 2, 2018
Virat Kohli’s knock today is something akin to Sunny Gavaskar’s 101 at Old Trafford in June 1974. All about guts and grit against some hostile bowling in adverse conditions!#ENGvIND #INDvENG

Outstanding ? from Kohli

So adorable that there were people that thought Kohli wouldn’t absolutely boss it in England in this series. #GUN

Most consecutive conversions from 90s to 100 in Tests for India
17 Virat Kohli (2014-2018)*
16 Sunil Gavaskar (1978-1983)
14 Azharuddin (1984-1994)#NervesOfSteel— Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) August 2, 2018
Such is the ridiculous genius of Virat Kohli that I’m not even sure this is one of his top five centuries.
— Jonathan Liew (@jonathanliew) August 2, 2018
Never, ever, boo Virat Kohli. If anything, it makes him do even better! Now for a Mic Drop at least. He owned it.
— Nikhil ? (@CricCrazyNIKS) August 2, 2018
The best thing about Kohli is that he backs up his aggression and arrogance with performances. The man is best at what he does! #INDvENG
— Pakchikpak Raja Babu (@HaramiParindey) August 2, 2018
A very good beginning to the test series for India. Ashwin bowled beautifully and so did Shami and that brilliant run out of Root by Kohli was the turning point of the day. From 216-3, Eng 285-9. May we carry the momentum with the bat tomorrow and dominate England #ENGvIND
— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) August 1, 2018
Virat Kohli being booed. You’ll pay for it, Edgbaston.

Virat Kohli completes 7000 runs in International cricket as captain in just 124 innings. He is the quickest to the milestone surpassing Brian Lara who needed 164 innings.
A difference of 40 Innings!!! #ENGvIND

India’s future is safe. Virat Kohli is already in the 22nd century.
— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) August 2, 2018
Fantastic masterful exhibition of batsmanship from Kohli. Those who think the way to counter a moving ball is to tee off because ” there’ll be one with my name on it” watch the innings in full and learn.
— mike selvey (@selvecricket) August 2, 2018
This is Virat Kohli’s best Test hundred so far and he is the best batsman in the world, across all three formats of the game. #ENGvIND #Cricket #ViratKohli
— Madhav Sharma (@HashTagCricket) August 2, 2018
Time and again Kohli’s showing the side of his batting that’ll put him in the pantheon of all time greats across formats….self belief and the will to fight is unmatched. If others play well around him, he’ll finish this tour with two…if not three tons. #EngvInd
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) August 2, 2018
Those sitting in the dressing room should watch Virat Kohli bat – in the context of coaching manual. #IndvEng
— Vikrant Gupta (@vikrantgupta73) August 2, 2018
Crikey , amazed at those who won’t recognise the quality of Kohli’s batting because he was dropped, and struggled against Anderson. Playing through such things is why it was a superb innings.
— mike selvey (@selvecricket) August 2, 2018
Brilliant knock from Kohli. Well played. #ENGvIND
— James Taylor (@jamestaylor20) August 2, 2018
Kohli scores a century, raises his bat in the air and kisses his wedding ring. He owes his success to her, he knows the motivation she fills him with, he's aware of all her efforts into making him a better person and a better player. He values her ♥

Special innings from Kohli. Every run he has scored contributed to the teams total.
