Virat Kohli, a veteran cricket hitter for India, will make his return to the sport after taking a short vacation from it on Tuesday, when India will begin a three-match one-day international series against Sri Lanka.
In the competition, Kohli will try to break several “all-time records” held by none other than Sachin Tendulkar, the “God of Cricket,” whom Kohli considers to be his personal hero and inspiration.
In his most recent appearance in the 50-over format, Kohli, who is widely regarded as one of the most productive batters in the world, had notably notched a century.
He would try to pick up right where he left off in that game against Bangladesh and continue to do well.
The name Sachin Tendulkar does not require any sort of introduction when it comes to the subject of this article. Tendulkar amassed quite a few of the most impressive records during the course of his remarkable career, which spanned around two decades.
Virat Kohli has a good chance of breaking a few of those records during the one-day international series against Sri Lanka.
In the 50-over version of international cricket played at home, Sachin Tendulkar has scored the most hundreds of any player. He currently holds the top spot on the list.
Virat Kohli’s score of 19 is only one tonne behind, so he’s not far behind. If the former captain of India goes on to score a couple of hundreds against Sri Lanka in the three-match series, he will break Tendulkar’s record for most runs scored in an innings.
In the One-Day International format, Kohli has already amassed an overall total of 8 hundreds versus Sri Lanka. Even Sachin Tendulkar is at a disadvantage versus the islanders because they have the same number of tonnes.
However, both Tendulkar and Kohli have scored nine hundreds against a single team, making them tied for the record for most hundreds scored against a single team. These hundreds were scored against the West Indies and Australia, respectively.
If he scores another century against Sri Lanka, Kohli will have a total of nine hundreds in his career. The 33-year-old will have 10 scores in the triple digits against the Sri Lankans if he scores two tonnes in the series. This is a feat that no one else has accomplished in the history of the game.
