Virat Kohli is known to be pretty expressive on the field and off the field. While the legendary batter has become quite mellowed down on the field, off the field, he sure knows how to win hearts. After equaling Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI centuries, Kohli thanked the ground staff at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata for preparing such a sportive wicket.
In a video that is going viral, Kohli was seen thanking the ground staff and also was seen taking a photo with them. The ground staff members could not control their excitement and congratulated Kohli for his wonderful century, which helped India thrash South Africa by 243 runs.
