Virat Kohli 52nd Century Record: India's star cricketer Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where every time he takes the field, records are made and broken. Something similar was seen in the first ODI against South Africa on Sunday. Kohli completed 100 runs in 102 balls at the Ranchi ground, setting a slew of records. This was his 52nd ODI century.
Kohli has created astonishing history. He has become the player with the most centuries in a single format. He has broken the record of the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 51 centuries in the Test format during his career.
It should be noted that Kohli surpassed Sachin Tendulkar in 2023 to become the cricketer with the most centuries in ODI cricket. Sachin scored 49 centuries in ODIs. The 37-year-old Kohli has broken another record of Sachin. He has become the Indian player with the most centuries in ODIs against South Africa. He has scored six centuries in 32 matches so far. Meanwhile, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar scored five centuries in 57 ODIs against South Africa. Furthermore, Kohli has become the player with the most fifty-plus scores in ODIs at home. He has also achieved the feat of scoring fifty-plus scores 100 times at home.
