In India’s World Cup semi-final match against New Zealand in Mumbai, Kohli scored his 50th ODI century.
He smashed eight fours and one six on his way to three figures, reaching this milestone off Lockie Ferguson’s bowling in the 42nd over.
With this knockout stage century, he achieved a first for himself in the Cricket World Cup, surpassing Tendulkar’s record for the most runs in a single edition of the competition.
After scoring hundreds of runs in the first two games of the competition against South Africa and Bangladesh, this was Kohli’s third century of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
He scored a century against Bangladesh during a victorious chase in Pune. In Eden Gardens, he helped lay the groundwork for a match-winning total against the Proteas with his second century.
In 2008, Kohli started playing for his country, ironically making his ODI debut. In December 2009, he scored his first-ever ODI century in a match against Sri Lanka in Kolkata.
This was Kohli’s fifth century overall in the World Cup of Cricket.
In the opening match of the competition, he scored his first World Cup century. This was done in Mirpur versus Bangladesh. The next one arrived in Adelaide against bitter rivals Pakistan. The 2023 edition contains the remaining ones.
During his most recent World Cup match, Kohli has performed at the highest level. In ten innings, he has scored 711 runs at an average of 101.57.
His five centuries in the Cricket World Cup helped India end at 397/4 against the Kiwis. His first four hundreds came in victories for India.
