Virat Kohli scores 139 not out against the West Indies in the first ODI, prompting praise from former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin posts a viral verdict about Kohli’s performance, asking in effect whether Kohli is “playing for England,” reflecting his admiration for the century.
The two NDTV references repeat the same core development: Kohli’s unbeaten 139 in the opening ODI and Ashwin’s reaction to it. While both accounts focus on Ashwin’s comment and the attention it draws online, they do not provide additional details such as match conditions, bowling figures, or subsequent reaction from other players or officials. The emphasis is on the impact of Kohli’s innings and the way Ashwin’s remark captures public interest.
Overall, the sources align on what happened in the match and on the nature of Ashwin’s response—an enthusiastic, joking question highlighting how dominant Kohli’s innings appears.
