Kohli Starts New Year Auspiciously, Scores Stunning Ton!
X
King Kohli Virat Kohli went through a big drought of centuries for around three years. He came back out of the drought in style and is bringing the best out of him. He scored his first T20 century and played iconic innings against arch-rivals Pakistan in the T20 World Cup.

Continuing the same form King Kohli got the ideal start and scored a century. In the first ODI against Sri Lanka, Run Machine Kohli scored a superb century in just 80 balls. His innings consisted of 10 fours and one six. This marks the 45th century in his glorious career.

His stunning century marks the 45th ton in his ODI career and his 73rd century in total. His century helped him break a few records and make a few. Virat Kohli equaled the record of the God Of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin and Virat now have 20 centuries in ODI at home.

While Sachin Tendulkar took 164 matches to reach the milestone, Kohli achieved it in just 101 games. Sachin had eight centuries in the ODIs against Sri Lanka and Virat Kohli has nine centuries.

Virat Kohli scored more than 12,500 runs in the ODI format and became the fastest batsman to reach the milestone. Earlier Sachin Tendulkar held the record and he reached that in 310 innings. But Virat Kohli took just 257 innings.

Virat Kohli is also very close to another massive record. The Run Machine just needs 180 runs to enter the elite list of highest run scorers in the ODI format. Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Mahela Jayawardene are in the top five places on the elite list. Virat Kohli now has 12584 runs in the format. He might enter the list as India will play a few ODI games in the coming months.
