“Goat. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday,” he wrote.

Kohli started the innings in characteristically free fashion, going for shots and taking loose balls from the South African pacer. However, the tempo slowed down when the South African spinners came on.
Kohli has already scored a ton of goals in this Cricket World Cup.
He scored an unbeaten 103 off 97 balls against Bangladesh in Pune, leading India to a seven-wicket win and winning the Player of the Match award. He came close to scoring one point against New Zealand in Dharamsala, but then fell five points short.
He then scored a brilliant 88 against Sri Lanka in Mumbai, but fell before he could clear the line. But it didn’t take long for him to match this landmark, achieving his feat at Eden Gardens on Sunday.
Three Indians top the list of top makers of the century in ODI cricket, with Rohit Sharma (31) next to Tendulkar and Kohli. In men’s cricket, nine players have scored over 2500 in this format.
