Mohali: A Twitter user named Shruti #100 is grabbing all the attention of Indian Cricket fans on the micro-blogging site after she exactly predicts Virat Kohli’s score in his hundredth test match, his mode of dismissal, and the star batsman’s reaction to his dismissal.
The user in a tweet that was posted at 12:46 am on March 4 – nearly nine hours before Kohli’s milestone Test match began, said Kohli will not score his hugely awaited 71st century in his 100th Test and will fall after scoring 45 runs.
Not only his score, the user also predicted that Sri Lankan spinner Embuldeniya will knock his stumps over and Kohli will “pretend” to be shocked at his dismissal before nodding his head in dismissal.
On Friday, playing his 100th Test match, Kohli fell exactly on the score predicted by the user, was dismissed in a similar fashion as described in the tweet, and was also shocked at his dismissal.
However, the user had mentioned Kohli would score four “gorgeous cover drives” and would face 100 deliveries before being dismissed. The two predictions did not come through as Kohli was dismissed on his 76th delivery and had scored five boundaries across parts of the ground.
Reacting to the prediction, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag replied with “Wow!!!” while other fans were amused at the similarities in the prediction that was done nine hours before the game began.
A few users also claimed that the user in question had duped the tweet and used software to pre-date the tweet, which it claimed can be done by good technicians who know the software well.
Kohli Won't score a 100 in his 100th test. Will score 45 (100) with 4 gorgeous cover drives and then Embuldeniya will knock his stumps over and he'll pretend to be shocked 😳😳 and will nod his head in disappointment

Jakarta, Apr 17: Indonesian authorities issued a tsunami alert Wednesday after eruptions at Ruang mountain sent ash thousands of feet high. Officials ordered more than 11,000 people to leave the area.
The volcano on the northern side of Sulawesi island had at least five large eruptions in the past 24 hours, Indonesia's Centre for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation said. Authorities raised their volcano alert to its highest level.
At least 800 residents left the area earlier Wednesday.
Indonesia, an archipelago of 270 million people, has 120 active volcanoes. It is prone to volcanic activity because it sits along the “Ring of Fire,” a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.
Authorities urged tourists and others to stay at least 6 km (3.7 miles) from the 725-metre (2,378 foot) Ruang volcano.
Officials worry that part of the volcano could collapse into the sea and cause a tsunami as in a 1871 eruption there.
Tagulandang island to the volcano's northeast is again at risk, and its residents are among those being told to evacuate.
Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency said residents will be relocated to Manado, the nearest city, on Sulawesi island, a journey of six hours by boat.
In 2018, the eruption of Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano caused a tsunami along the coasts of Sumatra and Java after parts of the mountain fell into the ocean, killing 430 people.
