Virat Kohli equalled Tendulkar’s record
Virat Kohli scored his first century for the year 2023 in the first One Day International against Sri Lanka yesterday (10) at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
He completed his second ODI century after his century against Bangladesh in December 2022. He managed to get that century in 80 balls.
Kohli’s 45th ODI century helped him equal Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most centuries in ODI cricket. While Tendulkar scored 20 centuries in 160 innings at home, Kohli achieved his 20th century in his 99th innings.
Thus, Virat Kohli managed to equal Sachin Tendulkar’s highest number of centuries in his homeland yesterday (10), with both of them scoring 20 centuries each. If Kohli manages to score one more century at home, he will overtake Tendulkar.
