A record-setting 49th ODI century on his 35th birthday! Virat Kohli now joins Sachin Tendulkar at the summit on ODI hundreds and here's how the whole world reacted to the momentous occasion
Well played Virat.

It took me 365 days to go from 49 to 50 earlier this year. I hope you go from 49 to 50 and break my record in the next few days.
Congratulations!!#INDvSA pic.twitter.com/PVe4iXfGFk
When I first met him, I remember every game he would say, 'paaji aaj 100 banana hai'. Well done Virat, so beautiful, so elegant, just looking like a wow, looking like a wow! @imVkohli #Kohli pic.twitter.com/U1v8pyJgOj
