Virat Kohli is a 34-year-old cricket player who has represented India in 111 Tests, 285 ODIs, and 115 T20Is. He has scored 48 centuries, which is three short of tying Sachin Tendulkar’s record. Kohli has a conversion rate of about one hundred every six matches.
Kohli has a strong possibility of beating Tendulkar in ODIs. He is just four centuries short of his 50th ODI ton and overtaking Sachin. Some say that Kohli will surely go past Sachin’s tally of 49 tons in the next one year.
However, Kohli may not be able to better Tendulkar in Tests. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that Kohli will not be able to break Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries in international cricket. However, he said Kohli can play for another five to six years.
Virat Kohli was hailed by the social media users on Thursday as being the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) for his smashing hundred against Bangladesh in World Cup 2023 match in Pune.
However, umpire Richard Kettleborough also found praise from Indian cricket fans for not giving a wide after a Bangladeshi bowler bowled a clear wide ball, which would have hampered Kohli’s chances of scoring a hundred.
Kettleborough didn’t deem the delivery wide, as he may have felt that Kohli had shuffled a bit away from the direction of the ball and had he stayed put, it could have struck him on the pads.
Chasing 257, Kohli sealed his 48th ODI ton, 78th international ton and India’s win with a six, finishing at 261/3 in 41.3 overs. His knock was peppered with six fours and four sixes.
X users couldn’t contain their glee on seeing Kohli hit yet another century in his typical effortless way.
With four wins in four matches, India is at the second spot in the points table with eight points. New Zealand is at the top with a better net-run-rate. Bangladesh is at the seventh spot with one win and three losses.
