Virat Kohli hit 100 years off 80 balls in first ODI, Kohli commended his consecutive ODI hundredsTendulkar commended India's top-request's presentation By India Today Web Work area: India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar stored acclaim on Virat Kohli after he crushed his 45th ODI hundred on Tuesday, January 10.

Kohli hit hundred years off 80 balls against Sri Lanka in the main ODI in Guwahati. The previous India skipper raised his bat to commend his second sequential hundred, having recently hit a ton against Bangladesh in the third ODI last year.

"Continue to do extraordinary like this. Continue to enlighten the name of India," Tendulkar tweeted. "Breathtaking batting execution by the top request!" Kohli's innings finished on 113 as India posted 373/7 against Sri Lanka. Discussing his batting, Kohli said: "I have had somewhat of a break, several training meetings. I have come new after the Bangladesh visit where things didn't exactly go to anticipate me in the final part.

"I was very anticipating the home season. I needed to bat through the innings as I generally do yet deal with a high strike-rate. I'm happy I could play at the beat of the game. We are happy that our expectation has fallen off, and we have wound up with 370 or more rather than 340. "Karma is significant, it has an impact. I'm thankful for it, and bow my head and acknowledge it.

Yet, more significantly, I'm happy we have the additional 30 runs since there will be dew. Since Rohit and I were in great stream, and we batted at a high strike-rate all through the innings," Kohli added. Previous India cricketer Gautam Gambhir prior said that both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would assume a monstrous part in the current year's 50-over World Cup in India.
