Having blasted four quickfire centuries in the ninth edition of the Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is the cynosure of all eyes.
India's Test skipper has amassed 865 runs from 13 innings in the tournament so far and there seems to be nothing that can stop the juggernaut.
As he continues to score loads of runs, Gujarat Lions batsman Aaron Finch took to Twitter and requested, "Dear Virat Kohli, can you please stop making batting look so easy, it's embarrassing for most other batters in the world.”
With a record number of centuries in the IPL, Kohli is the first captain to score four hundreds in a season.
Former Australia cricketer and commentator Dean Jones couldn’t help but praise the run-machine.
"T20 cricket is a hard game.. But he (Virat Kohli) makes it look easy.. That's what champions do. He is charismatic and fun to watch,” Jones tweeted.
Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop said Kohli can’t be normal.
"I'm sorry, but Virat Kohli can't be normal. Four centuries in an IPL season!,” he wrote.
