The Indian star reached the milestone in 111 balls, hitting seven boundaries along the way. He sealed the match in style, hitting a boundary on the last ball to complete his century. Kohli’s century came in a high-stakes game, further cementing his legacy as one of cricket’s greatest.

India beat hosts Pakistan in a high-stakes encounter at the ICC Champions Trophy 202. Opting to bat first, Pakistan posted a total of 241 runs, with Saud Shakeel contributing 62 and Mohammad Rizwan adding 46. India's bowling attack, led by Kuldeep Yadav's 3-40, effectively contained Pakistan's lineup. In response, India achieved the target in 42.3 overs, thanks to Kohli's 100* off 111 balls and Shreyas Iyer's supportive 56-run knock. This victory not only brings India closer to a semi-final berth but also leaves Pakistan's chances of advancing hanging by a thread. The match sparked a flurry of memes and reactions on social media, with fans humorously dubbing Kohli as the "Father of Pakistan" and sharing creative content celebrating India's triumph.
