Virat Kohli is leading the list of batters with the most runs scored so far in the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023 because to his incredible play. He is now the first batter in cricket history to score 50 ODI century and surpasses the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s 49.
After scoring two centuries in the ongoing Cricket World Cup, Kohli equaled the record of Sachin Tendulkar`s 49 ODI tons. With another hundred he smashed in the semi-final match and became the first batter to slam 50 ODI tons.
In the ninth over, after Rohit Sharma was out, Kohli came to bat. In just 59 deliveries, Kohli reached his half-century while hitting four fours. Shubman Gill and the former captain of India shared a 93-run partnership for the second wicket prior to Gill`s injury-induced retirement. Subsequently, he and Shreyas Iyer established a century-run partnership that remained unbeaten at 133 runs as this report was written. Kohli looked in tremendous form and he was able to reach the milestone in 106 balls with the help of 8 fours and a six.
In the 2023 World Cup, this marked Kohli`s third century.
