"A monumental achievement today as @imVkohli crosses the 13,000-run mark in ODIs! Your unwavering commitment and exceptional consistency in the game make you a true cricketing legend. Keep those runs flowing and continue making us proud!" Shah wrote.
Kohli finished his innings with an unbeaten 122, which came from 94 deliveries, while Rahul smashed a fiery 111 of 106 balls.
In a next tweet, Shah hailed Rahul's "remarkable" comeback and wrote, "What a remarkable comeback by @klrahul! His century today against Pakistan in the #AsiaCup2023 is not just a personal triumph but a testament to his resilience!"
