After three years of a challenging period, the 33-year-old broke shackles in the last contest of the Asia Cup 2022. Opening the batting for the Men in Blue, he was in full flow from the first over.
He hit 12 fours and 6 sixes in 61 balls at the Dubai International Stadium. Earlier, he had amassed a fifty each against Pakistan and Hong Kong. Virat is the first player to complete a hundred in the Asia Cup T20 tournament.
The veteran was named the Man of the Match and credited his wife, Anushka Sharma, for his return to form.
