Indian cricket team’s star batsman Virat Kohli achieved another brilliant achievement in the ODI match being played against South Africa in Ranchi. He batted brilliantly and scored a powerful century, along with which he also left behind a big world record of the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

Kohli completed his century in 102 balls

This century has taken Kohli to a position where he has become the player to score the most centuries in a single format. Kohli completed his century in 102 balls and this is the 52nd century of his ODI career. Earlier this record was in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who had maintained the top position for a long time by scoring 51 centuries in the Test format. This new record of Kohli has once again proved his batting ability in the cricket world.

Ranchi ground once again proved auspicious for Kohli. This is his third ODI century on this ground, which he completed in only 5 innings. While Tendulkar had scored three centuries in Vadodara, Kohli has given proof of the consistency of his performance by scoring three centuries each in Visakhapatnam and Pune. The specialty of his innings was that he had hit 5 sixes even before reaching his century, which clearly showed his aggressive batting style.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli took over the innings

The Indian team got a shock in the beginning of this match when Yashasvi Jaiswal soon got out and returned to the pavilion. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli took the responsibility of handling the innings. Both the experienced batsmen played a strong partnership and maintained constant pressure on the South African bowlers. There was a century partnership between the two, which greatly strengthened the position of Team India. Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 57 runs, but Kohli continued to score runs and eventually reached his century.

With this explosive innings, Virat Kohli has now scored 83 centuries in international cricket. He firmly occupies the second position in this list. This century innings of Ranchi has become another memorable chapter of his career, which has once again made him one of the best batsmen in the world.
