Virat Kohli just made his fourth hundred of this season. In Twenty20s. In just this IPL. Four hundreds. Rest of the batsmen combined have just THREE.
The latest one was in a 15-over innings. FIFTEEN OVERS. 90 BALLS. AND HE WASN’T BATTING ALONE.
He now has 1490 runs in all T20s since the beginning of this year. ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY!
Indian fans, as you’d expect, are thoroughly enjoying this. Flabbergasted by the consistency of it all, but enjoying it nonetheless. Bowlers from around the league, maybe not so much.
But what of his fellow batsmen?
Aaron Finch, until recently the top ranked T20 batsman in the world, won the internet with a brilliant tweet that confirms the level that Virat Kohli is operating!
Dear Virat Kohli,
Can you please stop making batting look so easy, it’s embarrassing for most other batters in the world.Thanks😂😂😂— Aaron Finch (@AaronFinch5) May 19, 2016
Finch is just the latest in the series of international batsmen who have dropped their jaws at the Indian superstar. David Warner, who has been raving for a few days now, joined in as well.
Even if they used a marble @imVkohli would still see it as a balloon. #seriousplayer nothing can stop him

The praise was fulsome from all quarters, as he made the cricketing fraternity go ‘WOW’ once again.
T20 cricket is a hard game.. But he makes it look easy.. That’s what champions do. He is charismatic & fun to watch https://t.co/S8M1yOTpPI

That is remarkable from Kohli … stitches in his hand today as well … gets out and is annoyed! #strewth https://t.co/838cqONfqE

How does @imVkohli keep making the right decisions? How important is mental preparation for each game. Why is he so hungry for runs? #freak

I’m sorry, but Virat Kohli can’t be normal. Four centuries in an IPL season!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

And as always, the fans were not far behind:
#RCBvKXIP Forget Modi publishing his degrees to prove that he is educated.Virat Kohli needs to publish his DNA to prove that he is human.

#KXIP – 120 (90 balls)Virat Kohli – 113 (50 balls)Kohli Should Be Declared As A Team. #RCBvKXIP #IPL2016 #IPL9 #IPL

Wait, what?
Virat Kohli scored a century with stitches in his hand?I need to take a 3-day nap when I have a cold.#RCBvKXIP— Sorabh Pant (@hankypanty) May 18, 2016
Virat Kohli has matured. He doesn’t show his middle finger anymore. Nowadays he sticks it inside his opponents instead.

One day a spaceship will come & take Virat Kohli back to his planet!#RCBvKXIP

What’s the difference between Kohli and the Renaissance? The Renaissance only gave humanity three mind-blowing centuries. #IPL2016

Virat Kohli treats bowlers like Vijay Mallya treats banks. #RCBvKXIP #Robbers
