It had taken Virat Kohli 1,020 days to move from international century No.70 to 71. Once he broke that long drought at the T20 Asia Cup in Dubai last September, he has been on a mission to make up for lost time.
A fourth hundred in the last 131 days, an astonishing effort where he went from fluent accumulator to unfettered destroyer in the bat of an eyelid, consigned Sri Lanka to the heaviest ever One-Day International defeat, in the final game of the three-match series on Sunday. Already holding a winning 2-0 lead, India rode on Kohli’s mesmeric unbeaten 166, a languid second 50-over ton by Shubman Gill and a stunning four-wicket burst with the new ball by Mohammed Siraj to crush the hapless visitors by 317 runs at the Greenfield International Stadium.
