India’s cricket sensation, Virat Kohli, has achieved a remarkable milestone by hitting his 50th international century in One Day Internationals. This accomplishment came as a response to the wish of his childhood idol, Sachin Tendulkar, who had urged Kohli to achieve the feat after he equaled Tendulkar’s record. Celebrating the achievement, Kohli scored 117 runs in 113 balls on a slow Wankhade wicket during the World Cup.
Sachin Tendulkar was present at the match to witness Kohli surpass his record. Kohli’s consistency allowed him to reach this milestone in just 279 innings, compared to Tendulkar’s 472 innings to reach 49 centuries. In addition, Kohli became the batsman to have scored the most runs in a single edition of the World Cup, surpassing Tendulkar’s record of 673 runs in 11 matches in the 2003 World Cup.
Kohli’s incredible track record dates back to when he led India to a U19 World Cup victory in 2008 and made his international debut in the same year. With 8,676 runs in 111 Tests and 29 centuries, Kohli has proven himself as one of India’s most successful Test captains. Furthermore, in ODIs, Kohli has scored 5,786 runs at an average of 90.40 in successful run-chases. He holds numerous records and has led India in 95 ODIs.
Kohli’s exceptional abilities have earned him admiration from fans and critics alike. His achievements have solidified his position as one of the greatest cricket players in the world.
