Sachin Tendulkar Has A Special Message To Virat Kohli!

Another day another record for Run Machine Virat Kohli. Yesterday was his birthday and he turned 35. He will not remember this birthday as India recorded a comprehensive win over South Africa and he scored a superb century. He emerged as the only Indian batsman who scored a century on his birthday.

His superb century made Virat Kohli enter history books and record the highest number of centuries in the ODI format. Virat shares the list with India’s great Sachin Tendulkar. Both players have 49 centuries in the ODI format.

Virat Kohli who equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s massive record became emotional. He said that Sachin Tendulkar is his cricketing idol and he started playing the gem seeing Sachin Tendulkar. Now he equaled his cricketing idol’s massive record.

While Virat Kohli joined the elite list and shares the massive record with Sachin Tendulkar, he took fewer innings than Sachin which proves his consistency.

When Virat Kohli was having a wonderful day with his game with the massive record, his idol Sachin made his day with a wonderful message. Sachin Tendulkar in a post said that he is hoping Virat will break his record and make 50th century.

As Sachin turned 50 this year, he said that he took 365 days to reach 50 from 49 but he is hoping that Virat Kohli will reach the 50th century in a few days. His post on X is making Virat fans happy.

“Well played Virat. It took me 365 days to go from 49 to 50 earlier this year. I hope you go from 49 to 50 and break my record in the next few days. Congratulations!!,” Sachin Tendulkar’s post reads.

Talking about yesterday’s match India set up a big score of 326 for the loss of five wickets in their quota of 50 overs. Virat played a big role in this with a century. Shreyas Iyer played a crucial knock. Star-all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja added sparks in the last over.

South Africa did not get the ideal start as opener Quinton de Kock was sent back by Mohammed Siraj when the score was just 6. At regular intervals, Indian bowlers took wickets and restricted South Africa to just 83. Ravindra Jadeja is the top pick of bowlers with fifer while Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav claimed two wickets each.
