Twitterati Goes Berserk As Virat Kohli Hits His 30th Century & Dhoni Bags His 100 Stumpings In ODIs

Former team India’s captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the man himself is a machine of action when it comes to dealing with wickets. Being the caretaker of the bowler’s delivery and the batsman’s mishap, Dhoni never fails to surprise everyone.

On the other hand, it is Virat Kohli, who is in high swing, already donning 30 centuries at mere 28 Years. Both contributed their best for the better of the Indian team. Kohli managed to hit a century against Sri Lanka in the fifth match of the ODI series.

Dhoni has ultimately mastered the art of wicket-keeping very soon right from the day-one of his captaincy or before. Well, all his efforts subsequently bagged enough wickets and clinched the keen moments of many matches.

Now, when it comes to records, MS Dhoni has recently joined the 300 ODI club after playing in the 4th ODI against Sri Lanka, now he clinched an exclusive record by bagging 100 stumpings as a wicket keeper. As of now, Dhoni is the only player who reached 100 stumpings in ODIs, earlier Sangakkara held the record with 99 in his kitty.

The former captain cool made his 100th stumping while the present captain made his 30th century. The former did it when he sent back Akila Dananjaya off the bowling off Yuzvendra Chahal in the fifth and final ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo.

We are already pretty much aware of the kind of following the both has in Indian cricket fraternity. Well, these achievements are now nothing but feathers the crown. Anyway, thanks to Kedhar for giving such a standard presence rotating the strike when needed.

With this Century, Kohli managed to cross Ricky Ponting’s 29 centuries in ODIs placing himself as the second-only to Sachin Tendulkar. This is Kohli’s 8th century against Sri Lanka and 19th in chasing.
