Twitter bows down to Kohli's brilliance, trolls Jennings for golden duck

12/11/2016

Twitter rose in ovation to applaud Virat Kohli as the Indian skipper posted a brilliant 235 against England to become the fifth player to score 3 Test double tons in a year. The Twitterati also trolled Keaton Jennings after the first innings; centurion was out for a golden duck in the 2nd innings.

An ode to India's fiery skipper!

Maachis toh yun hi Badnaam hai ,

Aag toh Kohli ne laga rakhi hai.

The Best by some distance. Period.#IndvsEng

Then Sachin, Now Kohli!

The transition is truly complete. The crowd going bonkers as they once did for Kohli's predecessor at No.4. #INDvENG

Even South Africans have joined the banter!

Most South African thing ever? Scores a ton - gets dismissed for 0. #IndvEng #ProudlySouthAfrican
