In a video review of the match, Aakash Chopra praised Kohli’s performance, saying “Virat Kohli is the Player of the Match and the Player of the Series. Virat the run-machine Kohli is back. Saamne wali bowling thi sadharan, to Kohli ne kiya Virat roop dhaaran,” which means “The bowling in front was ordinary, but Kohli brought out his Virat form”.

Aakash Chopra hailed Virat Kohli, by saying “The modern day batting great, has once again proven his worth by scoring a hundred in the first match in Guwahati and another hundred in Thiruvanthapuram. As a result, he was named both Player of the Match and Player of the Series. This outstanding performance silenced his critics and demonstrated that he is back at the top of his game.”

Chopra also commented on the criticism Kohli has been receiving, saying “I was reading a Pakistani handle that said that he scores only in dead rubbers, so did someone else score a century in the first match? Virat Kohli is back, looks absolutely sensational, back to his very prime. He actually owns this format.”

Chopra noted that Kohli’s century was his 46th in ODIs and he is only three behind Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in the format. During Kohli’s century, fans saw him hitting 13 fours and 8 sixes.

His consistency and ability to score big runs in crunch situations has been a hallmark of his career. Once again, he has proved himself as one of the finest batter in the world and led India to a series win.
