Virat Kohli was a man-possessed on Thursday (October 19) as the Indian batter unleashed himself on the Bangladesh bowling line-up when the Indian superstar had a sniff at another century as the Men in Blue thrashed Bangladesh by seven wickets in Pune during the ICC World Cup 2023.

Essentially, this was Virat Kohli's first century at the ICC World Cup 2023 and was much-awaited for the fans and for 'King Kohli' himself, who missed out on what looked like a certain century against Australia in their opening match. We take a look at some of the stats Virat Kohli surpassed on the night.
