IND vs SA ODI Series: Virat Kohli played a brilliant inning in the first ODI match played between India and South Africa in Ranchi. During this, Kohli not only took over the innings of Team India by scoring the 52nd ODI century of his career, but also broke a record in the history of cricket, which was once considered unbreakable.

Sachin Tendulkar’s great record broken

Sachin Tendulkar held the record for most centuries in one format (51 in Test). When Kohli reached three figures in Ranchi, he left this historic achievement behind. 52 centuries in ODI… That means now Virat has become the only batsman who has recorded the most number of centuries in any one international format.

Glimpse of classical Virat in Ranchi

Initially, India looked under pressure after the early dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal. After him, Kohli changed the entire course of the game as soon as he came to the crease. His partnership with Rohit Sharma gave a solid foundation to Team India. Classic cover drives, running between the wickets and composed shots, this century of Kohli was a mixture of calmness and perfection like the old days.

Kohli’s dominance over South Africa

This century is also the sixth ODI century of his career against South Africa. With this achievement, he left behind Sachin Tendulkar and David Warner, who had five centuries each.

A historic goal and the rest

With this century, Virat Kohli has now completed 83 international centuries. In this list, he is now behind only Sachin Tendulkar (100). Looking at Kohli’s current form, cricket experts believe that this historical record of the Master Blaster may also be in danger in the coming years.
