Virat Kohli Achieves Historic 52nd ODI Century

Virat Kohli has scored his 83rd international century, becoming the player with the most centuries after Sachin Tendulkar. His achievement places him at a remarkable milestone that seems almost unreachable for any other modern-day cricketer.

Virat reached his 52nd ODI century in 102 balls with a boundary off Marco Jansen. His century featured 7 fours and 5 more boundary shots. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar praised Kohli’s footwork from the very beginning, noting his strong performances at the Ranchi ground in previous matches.

In the commentary box, Gavaskar along with Ravi Shastri and Deep Dasgupta expressed admiration for Virat’s brilliant innings.

With 52 ODI centuries, Virat now leads the all-time list, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s 49 centuries. Rohit Sharma follows with 33 centuries. Virat Kohli is considered one of the greatest—if not the greatest—ODI cricketers in history.
