Virat Kohli joins Sachin Tendulkar in elite club

Virat Kohli on Sunday notched his 49th one-day international century, a feat that brought him on par with Sachin Tendulkar’s legendary all-time record. Celebrating his 35th birthday, Virat achieved this milestone in his 277th innings during the World Cup match against South Africa in Kolkata, whereas Tendulkar required over 400 innings to achieve the same milestone. During the course of his 101 not out knock, Virat also has become the second batter after Tendulkar to complete 6,000 runs in ODIs at home.
