Virat Kohli becomes quickest batsman to hit 21 ODI centuries

[iSK]

Virat Kohli became the quickest
batsmen to hit 21 ODI centuries,
after his hundred against Sri Lanka at
the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi on
Sunday. With the century coming in
just his 138th innings, he comfortably
beat Sachin Tendulkar who had taken
200 innings to get to 21 hundreds in
the one-day format.

Kohli got his first 50-over ton against
Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens back
in 2009. It comes as no surprise that
the Islanders are his favourite
opponents, with 6 of his centuries
coming against them.

Out of the 21 ODI centuries the 26-
year-old has scored, India have lost
only twice – against England at
Cardiff in 2011 (on D/L method) and
against New Zealand at Napier earlier
this year.

The Delhi batsman is now joint 5th
on the list of batsmen with most ODI
centuries alongside Herschelle Gibbs
and Chris Gayle, with Sourav Ganguly
firmly in his sights. Kohli is just 1
short of Ganguly’s mark and with age
on his age, it is a certainty that he
will overtake the former Indian
skipper.

Here is the list of batsmen who have
scored 21 ODI centuries and when
they got there:
