At the center of attention stood none other than the cricketing virtuoso, Virat Kohli, whose bat orchestrated a symphony of shots, sparking both awe and debate. With the stadium echoing the cheers of the crowd, Kohli showcased his mastery, wielding his bat with finesse and precision, etching his name deeper into cricket's annals. His century, scored in 67 balls, marked a significant milestone yet faced scrutiny.
