Ranchimade headlines on Sunday, November 30, when he scored a brilliant 52nd ODI century against South Africa in Ranchi, making a spectacular comeback to international cricket after a month. India's thrilling 17-run victory was made possible by Kohli's incredible knock of 135 off just 120 balls. With just 349 runs scored and the Proteas three down for just 11, India was ahead of the game. However, the visitors, led by the two all-rounders Marco Jansen and Corbin Bosch, put up a valiant fight but ultimately lost.
In addition to the videos of Kohli's knock, celebration, and post-match conversation that have taken over social media, his jig to make fun of Yashasvi Jaiswal's hairstyle also went viral.
Kohli, who seems to be enjoying the last phase of his international career, sought to have some fun with the young opener when the teams were lining up for the national anthem before the start of the match. Jaiswal's hairstyle has been likened to that of a Bollywood star from the movie "Tere Naam." The left-hander couldn't stop laughing when Kohli appeared to perform the open-chested "Lagan Lagi" dance step in front of Jaiswal, dispelling any remaining doubts.
In addition to Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh and Rishabh Pant were unable to contain their laughter. View the video:
Only Salman Khan could pull off the "Tere Naam hairstyle," which was very popular among children and young adults in the early 2000s.
When Jaiswal fails, Kohli makes it worthwhile.Even though Jaiswal was only playing in his second ODI, he managed to score just 18 runs during his brief stay despite hitting his rival Jansen for a six and scoring a few boundaries. Jaiswal edged it straight to the keeper after Nandre Burger got him driving in that unpredictable off-stump channel. But following Jaiswal's dismissal, the two senior pros, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, put together a 136-run partnership for the second wicket, with Kohli leading the hosts' rearguard action with a brilliant century.
Before Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav shone with the ball to lead India to an exciting victory on Sunday, the captain assisted India in amassing 80 runs in the final ten to cap off a fantastic first innings for India.
