After Virat Kohli's Record-breaking 76th Ton in 500th Match, Anushka Sharma's Post Is All Heart

The peerless Virat Kohli headlined his 500th international appearance with a 76th hundred as India coasted to a healthy first innings score of 438 in the first innings, on the second day of the second Test against the West Indies on Friday.

Ishan Kishan (25) would be cursing himself for not making full use of decent batting conditions and a platform set by top-order batters.

Starting the day at 87, Kohli reached his century in the first half an hour while dispatching a Roach delivery wide of point with a stretched square drive. The wide grin while raising his bat and then taking a bow said it all.
