It was a knock for the ages from Kohli and one of the fastest centuries of his ODI career, having recently hinted that the 2027 ODI World Cup could be his last.

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif slammed batting icon Virat Kohli ‘s critics after his record-breaking century against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.
After that, Kohli has scored 900 runs in 11 innings with four hundreds. He has played only 11 innings in a year, which is one match per month,” Kaif said on his YouTube channel. He is showing that he is 37, has had a long career with ups and downs, but his weapon is his bat.
