Virat Kohli stroked a commanding, unbeaten 111 to lead India to a series-clinching eight-wicket win over the West Indies in the fifth and final one-day international at Sabina Park on Thursday.
Responding to the home side’s modest total of 205 for nine after captain Jason Holder chose to bat first in Jamaica, the visitors’ skipper ensured there was to be no upset with the target reached in the 37th over to give India a 3-1 series triumph.
Twitter was full of praise for Kohli as he scored his 18th ton while chasing to guide India to series win. Here are the best reactions.
The emotion from @imVkohli shows how much it meant to him. 18 in run chases now, just another record
