Virat Kohli has scored 48 centuries in One Day International matches. He needs just one more to match Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries.
Virat Kohli is considered one of the best cricket players today. He’s been playing internationally for more than ten years and has made it really tough for bowlers from all around the world.
He’s scored more than 26,000 runs in international cricket. He’s only the second Indian player, after Sachin Tendulkar, to achieve this milestone. Kohli has also hit 80 centuries in international cricket, which is second only to Sachin Tendulkar. Recently, he scored his 80th century against New Zealand in the ODI World Cup 2023 semi-final at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, surpassing Ricky Ponting’s record of 71 centuries.
Virat Kohli has scored the most international centuries among current players worldwide. But the legendary Sachin Tendulkar holds the record with a huge 100 centuries. Kohli has scored 50 centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs), 29 in Test matches, and one in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
In ODIs, Kohli has played some amazing innings. For example, in 2012, he scored an unbeaten 133 runs off just 86 balls against Sri Lanka in Hobart. India chased down a tough target of 321 runs in only 36.4 overs. Another remarkable innings was his 183 runs against Pakistan in the Asia Cup in 2012.
When Virat Kohli started batting, India had no runs and had lost one wicket. But then he hit the ball very hard and scored 183 runs in 148 balls. His batting was amazing! Because of him, India managed to chase and win the big target of 330 runs with 13 balls still left to play.
Virat Kohli has played several match-winning knocks in Tests
Virat Kohli has been doing amazingly well in Test cricket. He’s hit 7 double centuries, which is more than any other Indian player. Some of his innings really stand out because of how good they were.
One of his best innings was when he scored 254 not out against South Africa in 2019. He faced 336 balls and didn’t get out, helping India score a total of 601 runs. India won the match easily by a big margin of an innings and 137 runs.
Another memorable moment from Virat Kohli is when he scored 235 runs at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai against England in 2016. He came to bat when India’s score was 146/2. Despite facing tough bowlers like James Anderson, Ben Stokes, and Adil Rashid, Kohli played exceptionally well and scored a fantastic double century. His batting brilliance helped India defeat England easily by an innings and 36 runs.
