In a video that went viral on social media, Da Silva’s mother was seen hugging Kohli and getting emotional after meeting his favourite cricketer. The heartwarming incident took place a day after Da Silva was caught telling Kohli his mother is a huge fan of him.
Kohli on Friday also became the first batter to score a hundred in his 500th international match as he slammed his 29th Test century to end his five-year drought for a hundred in an overseas red-ball match.
Kohli’s flawless hundred took his tally of Test hundreds on par with Sir Donald Bradman, who had scored 29 centuries in 52 Tests.
After making four away hundreds in 2018 when India was on tour in Australia, Kohli had to wait quite a while and this century is his first outside India in Tests since then. His last overseas Test ton came in Perth in 2018.
