Kohli is in such a breathtaking form that former England batsman Mark Butcher ended up asking his national team mate Alex Tudor if he had an idea what kind of 'curry' the RCB opener is.

And Alex Tudor could not believe he missed another special innings from a very special player.

His national team mate Ravichanran Ashwin also called the right hander "unreal" after yet another ton in the tournament.

West Indian World T20 winning captain Darren Sammy ended up feeling bad for the Kookaburra ball for the punishment it received from the bat of Virat Kohli.

Former New Zealand all-round Scott Styris called the batsman's performance the "greatest batting achievement" he has ever witnessed.

Another Indian international and Kolkata Knight Riders wicketkeeper - batsman Robin Uthappa said in a tweet that the RCB opener is operating on another realm.

The Sunrises Hyderabad captain David Warner expressed that Kohli is in such a good form, that he is seeing the cricket ball as a 'balloon'.

Former West Indian fast-bowler and cricket commentator Ian Bishop believes the 27-year-old is not normal after showing the kind of consistency which was never been witnessed in the modern era before.

Other former greats also showered praise of the star performer, terming him a genius and a modern great.
