Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: India batter Tilak Varma was all praises for his teammate and former captain Virat Kohli after witnessing the latter’s century against South Africa on Sunday at Ranchi’s JSCA International Stadium Complex.

Kohli notched up his 83rd career international ton, his 52nd in the 50-over format, when India took on the Proteas in the first game of the three-match ODI series. Walking in to bat in just the fourth over after Yashasvi Jasiwal’s early dismissal, Kohli took on the opposition bowlers with sheer confidence to score a massive 135 off 120 deliveries.

Varma considered himself lucky to have witnessed Kohli score the century live. Speaking in a video shared by bcci.tv, said, "We've seen one of the best knocks again. I am very happy that I have seen a 100 of Virat bhai live. Since the last 17 years, he has always been electrifying in the field. The batting, fielding, everything. He's absolutely top."
