Virat Kohli "Will Leave You Embarrassed": India World Cup-Winner On Star's Perth Ton

Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal expressed happiness with star India batter Virat Kohli's century in the Perth Test against Australia, saying that players like him who have performed so well over the years consistently cannot be criticised harshly because their comebacks will leave the doubters "embarrassed".

You cannot score in every match you play in. You cannot criticise him as a whole because he will always come back and leave you embarrassed. You have to keep in mind that more matches are available with him," said Madan.

During the match, Virat scored an unbeaten 100 in 143 balls, with eight fours and two sixes. His runs came at strike rate of 69.93. After scoring the century, Virat had a sight of relief as he raised his bat above his head.

Now, Virat has scored his 81st international century and continues his chase for idol Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 international centuries. This is also his 30th Test century. Now in 119 matches, Virat has scored 9,145 runs at an
