Virat Kohli Reaches 51st ODI Century and Breaks Records

NEWS CHARIOT : Virat Kohli added another milestone to his incredible career by scoring his 51st century in One Day Internationals (ODI), making it the highlight of his latest innings. Not only did he bring up his 51st ODI century, but Kohli also became the fastest player to reach 14,000 runs in ODIs, further cementing his place in cricket history.

Since he reached the 8,000-run mark in 2017, Kohli has been the fastest to reach every 1,000-run milestone, consistently breaking records. His latest century helped him surpass former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting to become the third-highest run-scorer in international cricket, behind only Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara.

Ponting, who congratulated Kohli on his achievement, acknowledged Kohli’s dominance in the 50-over format. Ponting expressed his admiration for Kohli, stating that he’s “the best 50-over player” he has ever seen. He also noted that Kohli is on the verge of surpassing Kumar Sangakkara and has a long way to go before reaching Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 34,357 international runs.

Despite being under pressure after a disappointing Test series in Australia, Kohli’s remarkable performance in ICC events, especially against rivals like Pakistan, has been unparalleled. His century, marking a return to form, ended the debate surrounding his recent performances.

With his hunger for runs still evident, it’s only a matter of time before Kohli surpasses more milestones, with many experts believing that his pursuit of Tendulkar’s record will be an exciting journey to watch.
