‘Babar can break Virat’s ‘century’ record, big words of former Pakistani cricketer

New Delhi. Virat Kohli’s bat is rocking in World Cup 2023. The star batsman of Team India has not only scored 711 runs at a whopping average of 90.68 in this prestigious tournament but has also broken master blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI centuries. Virat has so far scored 13794 runs at an average of 58.69 in 291 ODIs, including 50 centuries (a record till the World Cup final). Till about six-seven years ago it was believed that Sachin would break the record of international cricket centuries (it’s almost impossible for any batsman to get 100) as well as ODI centuries but in case of ODIs, Virat has done it. Virat is scheduled to face Australia (India vs Australia) in the World Cup Final (World Cup 2023 Final) on 19th November and fans are expecting another century from him in this match.

It’s not even a week since Virat scored 50 ODI centuries, but the discussion in the cricket world has started that Sachin’s record has been broken by Virat, now who can break Virat’s record? To be honest, no batsman has done that in recent times. If we talk about ODI centuries among the batsmen currently playing cricket, after Virat, Rohit Sharma (31 centuries), David Warner (22) and Quinton de Kock (21) come, but Rohit and Warner’s international cricket career is in its last phase. . De Kock has also announced his retirement from one-day internationals after the World Cup. Thus, there is such a big difference between the centuries of Virat and these three batsmen that it seems very difficult for any of them to break this record.

‘Babar doesn’t deserve a place in T20 squad’, ex-colleague turns ‘opponent’ of Pakistani batsman

Asked who can break Virat’s record of 50 centuries in ODIs, former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal said Babar Azam can do it. Talking to ARY News, Akmal said, ‘Only top-3 (batting) batsmen can break this record. Middle order batsmen will not be able to break it. We have Babar Azam, he can do it, he plays in the top 3. They still have (Shubman) Gill, he can chase this record. Kamran, 41, has played 53 Tests, 157 ODIs and 58 T20Is for Pakistan.

Kamran Akmal demanded accountability from the national players, saying that the matter should not end with the removal of Babra Aadhar from the captaincy, the players should also be held accountable for their poor performance. pic.twitter.com/CdJbNI2o56

Kamran may consider Babar and Gill as contenders to break Virat’s record, but that doesn’t seem possible at the moment. This is because the 29-year-old Babar currently has 19 centuries to his name in 117 ODIs, leaving him not just short but 32 more centuries short of breaking Virat’s record. will need There is also the fact that Virat is currently playing international cricket. He also has a chance to surpass the record of 50 ODI centuries. The 24-year-old Shubman Gill has so far scored six centuries in 43 ODIs and he too has a long way to go to reach this ‘great achievement’ of Virat.
