Kohli is at the top of the list of all-time great players in international cricket. Another feather in the crown of Virat Kohli In the second match of the one-day series in Adelaide on Tuesday. He became the first Indian captain to score a century in Australia's one-day cricket. Which has kept India and Australia equal 1:1. Prior to this, in the country of Don Bradman, in the form of Indian captain, he was the highest run scorer in ODI cricket, Mohammed Azharuddin and Sachin Tendulkar. In Brisbane in 1992 World Cup, Azhar had scored 93 against Australia in the group match and in 2000, in the Hobart triangular series, Sachin scored runs around 100 against Pakistan. But as a captain has not yet crossed the 100 runs, which is Virat Kohli did in today's match.
Kohli has scored this century with the 39th century. For this century of Kohli, India today won the match after chasing 299 runs on four wickets. His skill in the run-chase proves once again on Tuesday in Adelaide. In one-day cricket, his century has contributed 32 times to win the team. Kohli is only behind Sachin Tendulkar in a match, the Little Champion's century contributed 33 times in winning the team. It is now to see if Kohli's century in the next match gives India a win.
Kohli has scored 64 centuries in international cricket. Earlier Sri Lanka's veteran player Kumar Sangakkara had 63 centuries in international cricket, But today Kohli has broken the record of Sri Lankan veteran Kumar Sangakkara by scoring a century again. The most consecutive in international cricket is still Sachin Tendulkar. He has scored a total of 100th century. After that, Ricky Ponting of Australia has scored a total of the 71st century. Kohli is not far behind Ponting this time. I hope Kohli will start chasing Sachin's record by breaking the record of Ricky Ponting within the year of2019.
In all formats of Australia, Kohli has now scored 11 centuries. It is also recorded in a new record. David Gower (9th Century), Jack Hobbs (9th Century), Brian Lara (8th century) is far behind him. In this country, there are 7 centuries in the name of Valley Hammond, Viv Richards, VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar.
