Virat Kohli Two Steps Away In Overtaking Sachin Tendulkar!

India is having a golden run in the World Cup as the Men In Blue won as many as four consecutive wins. India is the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far along with New Zealand. Both bowlers and batsmen are shining in the matches to give the team memorable wins.

Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli who is regarded as the chase master is in red-hot form. After going very close to a century in the match against Australia, Virat Kohli reached the three-figure score in yesterday’s match. In the chase, Virat Kohli added a century to his name.

This ton is special for Virat Kohli as it marks the third century for him in the World Cups. Virat Kohli now has 78 centuries to his name, the second-highest in international cricket only next to God Of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar.

Talking about the ODI format, Virat Kohli has 48 centuries. Virat is very close to surpassing the great Sachin. Legendary player Sachin who is the only player to have 100 centuries in international cricket has 49 centuries in the 50-over format.

Virat now has 48 tons. If he makes another ton, he will equal Sachin, who is his idol. If he makes two more centuries, then he will surpass Sachin Tendulkar in the elite list. Given his form, it is not tough for Virat Kohli to add a few more tons to his name in the format.

Virat Kohli who has 48 centuries in the ODI format took around half the matches Sachin took to make 49 centuries. Sachin Tendulkar who played 463 innings in ODI played 452 innings and has 49 tons. Virat played just 285 matches and has 48 tons.

Virat Kohli is a chase master and has more tons while chasing. The superb century he brought the other day came while chasing the target. A few experts say that Virat Kohli can even match Sachin in terms of total centuries. He needs just 12 centuries for this. This is the legacy Virat Kohli created in the international cricket.
