Dean Jones belittles Virat Kohli ton, gets trolled on Twitter

New Delhi: It seems Dean Jones likes to add fuel to fire, and he did it again on Sunday after Virat Kohli's 31st ODI century went in vain in the first ODI between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Interestingly, one of the few milestones Kohli's century helped him cross was fastest 1000 ODI runs against New Zealand, which previously stood in the name of Jones. 

While the Australia did congratulate Kohli, he added a rider to his tweet, that "it's only New Zealand". 

"Well played @imVkohli !! But then again .. it's only New Zealand!" he replied to the tweet of an Indian fan.

Well played @imVkohli !! But then again .. it’s only New Zealand!

Reacting to this, the fans decided to share their two cents with the Australian. 

Stronger opposition than Aussies

Aussies should learn from New Zealand batsmen how to tackle spinners. Excellent batting

The match also marked Kohli's 200th ODI appearance, making him the 13th Indian to do so and 72nd overall.

But the Indian skipper's century was overpowered by the partnership between Ross Taylor (95) and Tom Latham (103*) that helped New Zealand chase the 281-run target with an over to spare.
