Virat Kohli’s records: Kohli is collecting something to Virat in every match
New Delhi:
Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli, the greatest batsman of the modern era, has become a myth in himself. He has reached a stage in his career that even if he sneezes, his account is being credited with something or the other! Recently published World Cup 2023 Virat who broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in the semi-final against New Zealand (Ind vs Nz) has raised his stature. Overall, this batsman has become a record machine. And there are some records that the next generation of batsmen will struggle to break. Let us introduce you to three such select records.
Most ODI centuries
With his half-century in the semi-final against New Zealand, Kohli scaled a mountain of centuries that will make the next generation of batsmen sweat. From a fitness point of view, Kohli can play cricket for three to four more years. In such a situation, his figure will definitely go higher. And he will leave behind a record, a crossing that can be said to be more than climbing Everest for any batsman.
More than seven hundred runs in a single edition of the World Cup
Kohli has so far scored 711 runs in the same innings of 10 matches. If you look at USP (Unique Selling Point) their average is 101.57. He has scored three centuries and five fifties. He is the highest run-scorer in the current edition. He has already surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s highest score (673) in a single edition. And if Kohli scores another century in the final, imagine his tally will be stuck around eight and a half hundred. And even if it doesn’t happen, Kohli’s record seems safe from breaking.
Kohli started his career with the World Cup in the year 2011. This version was also played in India. Until the semi-final against New Zealand, Virat had played a total of 36 World Cup matches for India and was part of India’s victories in 30 of them. This is a figure that no other player has been able to achieve in the World Cup. And for one player to play so many matches in the World Cup seems a very difficult task. Then being a part of so many victories seems like a mere fantasy.
