IND VS SL: “Will Get To The 100”: Sunil Gavaskar
On January 15, India defeated Pakistan by 317 runs in Thiruvananthapuram after Kohli produced his second-highest ODI total of 166 not out in the third ODI. Kohli struggled to get going, getting out for 4 in the second ODI. In the six months leading up to the ODI World Cup 2023, Kohli, who has four international hundreds to his credit, has reached the pinnacle of his white-ball form.
Just 3 hundred separate Kohli from Sachin Tendulkar’s 49-hundred ODI record. To match Sachin Tendulkar’s global record of 100 international hundreds, though, Kohli needs 26 more hundreds. In his career, Tendulkar amassed 49 ODI and 51 Test hundreds.
A T20I century, a T20I century, and 27 Test hundreds all belong to Kohli.
“In case he plays, 5 or 6 years, he will get to the 100. There’s no doubt about it. His average is about 6-6 hundred a year. So if that happens, then surely he can add another 26 hundred in the next 5-6 years if he plays till 40.”
Gavaskar said
IND VS SL: Virat Kohli’s In T20s
“Sachin Tendulkar also played till his 40s and he had kept his fitness. Kohli is very aware of his fitness. He is still, the fastest runner between wickets in this Indian team. Only when MSD was there, you could say, MS Dhoni was as quick, if not quicker. Today, at this age, he beats the youngsters hands down. Converting 1s into 2s, and 2s into 3s, he is an absolute champion at that. And not just for his runs, but for his partners as well.
Said Sunil Gavaskar
Despite not being selected for T20Is since the beginning of the year, Kohli is an important player for the Royal Challengers Bangalore Indian Premier League team. Kohli, 34, has talked extensively about remaining sharp and emphasized the need of taking pauses.
