India’s Virat Kohli scored the most centuries in ODI cricket by scoring a century against South Africa in the World Cup. 49 centuries of this former captain. However, this achievement is not only his alone, Sachin Tendulkar has the feat of most centuries jointly with him.
Kohli scored his 49th century in a high voltage match in World Cup cricket on Sunday. Naturally, Sachin Tendulkar received praise. Sachin congratulated Kohli for two different reasons on the same day. Because yesterday November 5 was Kohli’s birthday. Earlier in the day, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar wished Kohli on Jammeal Day.
At the end of the day, Sachin Tendulkar had to congratulate Kohli again. Kohli, who scored his 49th career century, sat next to him. Sachin tweeted Kohli after making that magical run of three figures. He greeted Virat there. At the same time he made a joke. He wrote, Virat played well. It took me 365 days to go from 49 to 50 earlier this year. But I hope you will reach 49 to 50 in next few days. Will break my record. I wish you a lot of luck.
It was once thought that no one would ever approach Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI century tally. But Virat Kohli brought himself to such a level that comparisons with Sachin started. Debate on who is better Sachin or Kohli? But even if the question of who is the best is kept aside, it is easy to say that Sachin Kohli will surpass Sachin in the century. Because Kohli needs only one more magical three-digit run to overtake Sachin.
