I couldn't score like this even in Book cricket! :(

Unstoppable. Kohli is scoring centuries like he's turning pages in a book.

With great power comes great responsibility! :P

Virat Kohli is like that sole-wage earner of the family who's supporting his two unemployed brothers, who sit at home and do nothing. Pandya & Sharma.

Hardik Pandya must tell his grandchildren at the age of 70 that he once mistakenly compared with Kapil Dev.#INDvSA

Déjà Vu!

In 1992-93 tour to SA, two young India bowlers had a great success and ended among the best bowlers of country - Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath.

Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are the two young ones impressing the most in this tour to SA. #SAvInd

Our secret weapon is not Kuldeep or Chahal, it has been Rahane all this while! :P
