Virat Kohli brought up his 53rd ODI ton against South Africa in the 2nd ODI match in Raipur on Wednesday. The 37-year-old has now smashed consecutive ODI centuries against the Proteas in this ongoing ODI series.

There have been chatter regarding his form and intent in the ODI format but the former Indian captain has once proved his doubters wrong with another sublime knock. He completed his 84th international century in just 90 balls and is chasing Sachin Tendulkar, who has 100 international centuries in his tally.

Social Media Exploded After Virat Kohli's Consecutive ODIU Centuries

Virat's majestic hundred has exploded the internet and netizens have hailed him on social media.

Mumbai Indians posted, “Consistency ka dusra naam Virat Kohli.”

Another fan posted, "Today another child will come home from school, see Virat Kohli casually score another hundred, and fall in love with him & game of Cricket.

“Yes, just like we did in 2016.”

Irfan Pathan posted, "On Sunday king plays for sure but on weekdays he plays with your plans. Brilliant 100 by Virat Kohli.'

Virat Kohli Could Dethrone Rohit Sharma

Virat now needed 17 centuries to get past Sachin's tally of 100 hundreds. But given he has already retired from the T20Is and Test cricket, it remains quite an impossible task for him. Kohli has now recorded consecutive ODI tons for the 11th time, the most by any player in the history of the format. He is also expected to leapfrog Rohit Sharma from the top of the ICC ODI rankings, as he is just 32 rating points behind as per the latest rankings.
