In the ICC World Cup 2023, Virat Kohli made history with an explosive performance, scoring a century against South Africa. This remarkable feat marked his 49th century in ODI cricket, tying with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar for the most ODI centuries. Interestingly, Kohli also joined a select group of Indian batsmen who have achieved the extraordinary milestone of scoring an ODI century on their birthday๐๐, making him the 7th player worldwide and the 3rd Indian to do so. What sets Kohli’s record apart is the efficiency with which he achieved this, needing just 278 innings to reach his 49 centuries, while Sachin accomplished this in 452 innings. It’s a testament to Kohli’s incredible talent and consistency in one-day international cricket.
