Former India captain Virat Kohli reached his 100th test match against Sri Lanka in Mohali. Kohli becomes the twelfth cricketer in the history of cricket to represent India in 100 test matches, however, a tweet predicting his accurate score and dismissal has gone viral on the internet.
Virat Kohli was able to score 45 runs off 76 balls in the first innings of his 100th Test cricket match and his innings consisted of 5 amazing fours. He looked in fine touch and played some great shots en route to his 45-run knock but failed to convert his start into a big score once again. He was dismissed by Lasith Embuldeniya.
Meanwhile a tweet by a fan is going viral for it’s unbelievable similarity to what happened today on the field. The tweet predicted that Kohli will get out on 45(100) against Lasith Embuldeniya and the dismissal will be clean bold. The user also mentioned that Kohli will have a shocking face. The exact same thing happened on the ground.
“Kohli won’t score a 100 in his 100th test. Will score 45 (100) with 4 gorgeous cover drives and then Embuldeniya will knock his stumps over and he’ll pretend to be shocked and will nod his head in disappointment,” the Twitter user wrote at 12:46 AM on Friday. As the prediction turned out to be true, the tweet went viral with several fans reacting to it.
This was the rarest of rare sporting predictions to come true with such unerring precision. The only part where the fangirl got slightly wrong is that Kohli didn’t face 100 but 76 deliveries and struck 5 and not 4 boundaries in his innings.
