IND Vs NED: 'Just Remember Seeing Virat Kohli's Eyes Before the Match...'- AB de Villiers
Virat Kohli completed his 49th ODI century against South Africa in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Kohli scored 101 off 121 deliveries at the historic Eden Gardens and has now equaled Sachin Tendulkar???s record of scoring the most hundreds in the ODI format.
Virat Kohli???s former RCB teammate AB de Villiers talked about his meeting with Virat early morning on the matchday and the way Virat was laser-focused on his game. It was his birthday and he made it extra special after equalling Sachin Tendulkar???s record.
???First of all, it was obviously not part of the plan. It just happened that way, but things have always happened that way for the two of us. I was here this morning and I walked straight into him (Virat Kohli) and I was like whoa!, I see you on your birthday and you are playing and you are going to match the record of the great Sachin Tendulkar. I just remember seeing those eyes, he was so laser-focused,??? said AB de Villiers.
AB de Villiers also said that he was not surprised when Virat scored his 49th ODI century. He knows how difficult it is to stop Virat Kohli and how focused Virat is while playing. He has the desire to play, but he still wants to carry on with his game. This is what makes Virat Kohli special.

???I gave him that big bear hug and I must say I am impressed, but I am not surprised.

He wants more so I am expecting even more fireworks from here on in but I am very happy for my brother,??? added AB de Villiers.
AB de Villiers also mentioned that he was a bit sad that this came against South Africa, ???That???s what it is to me and we have come a long way together, we have got great memories on and off the field and even though it was against South Africa, it made me sad in a way but I am very happy for my brother. What a great man.???
As a result, South Africa lost the match which was only their second defeat in this tournament. He was happy for his ???brother??? and he called Virat a great man. Both of these legends have shared a lot of good memories together and there is a special bond between them beyond cricket.
