He did so on his former India team-mate's home ground, with batting great Tendulkar among those applauding at the Wankhede Stadium.
He was eventually out after scoring 117 runs off 113 balls when Devon ConWoy held on to a catch Kohli offered on a Tim Southee’s ball.
Kohli is in epic form in the World Cup as he is the leading run-getter of the vent with 711 runs in 10 matches at an average of 101.57 and a strike rate of 90.68.
