When Virat Kohli bats with intent, even the clock stops at some point! Such is the class and elegance of the 33-year-old batter. The Indian run machine makes runs at ease and hits centuries for fun. So, it came as a clean shock when the Indian titan went through a long lean patch where he did not score a century for over three years.
