Virat Kohli scored a Test century after 3 years against Australia on Sunday in the fourth day of the 4th Test in Ahmedabad.
This was his 75th international century and fans were waiting with bated breath for this moment to finally come and when it did, the internet was filled with congratulatory posts.
One post that caught everyone’s attention on Twitter was from the Delhi Police handle which posted a quirky tweet lauding Kohli for his effort. The handle referred to Kohli as ‘our Delhi boy’ and asked the Gujarat police not to book the player for causing hurt to the guests (Australia).

“Dear @GujaratPolice, Don’t book our Delhi boy #ViratKohli for voluntarily causing hurt to the guests. AUS-SOME, game @imVkohli!” Delhi Police tweeted.
The tweet was accompanied by a photo of Kohli with the words, “Bura na maano, Kohli hain”
Resuming his innings at 59 off 128 on Sunday, Kohli took his time to score the remaining 41 runs. Off 241 deliveries, only scoring five fours in what was a gritty knock in the first innings.
With the hosts having lost Ravindra Jadeja early in the first session on Sunday, Kohli stitched together 84-runs for the fifth wicket alongside KS Bharat (44 off 88) to put India closer to Australia’s 480 in the first innings.
The 34-year-old, who notched his fifty on day three, had come in to bat when Australia broke the 113-run partnership between Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara and was at the non-striker’s end when Gill got to his century at Motera.
Kohli would ultimately score 186, falling just short of a double ton as India ended their first innings at 571 in the fourth and final Test against Australia.
