Virat Kohli punched out his 50th ODI century through the course of his match-winning knock against New Zealand in the 2023 World Cup semifinal. Turning up for India at the Wankhede Stadium, the cricketer surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time tally of 49 ODI tons to scale a new world record in 50-overs-internationals.

Remarkably, after reaching the landmark figure, Kohli bowed to his idol Tendulkar, who had attended the stadium for the high-profile contest.

Through his humble gesture for the former cricketer, the modern-day batting legend drew heaps of appreciation from all corners of the sporting fraternity, with Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut becoming the latest prominent personality in joining the bandwagon.

Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut recently took to her Instagram account and expressed her admiration for Virat Kohli after India’s extensive World Cup 2023 dominance. The actress acknowledged Kohli’s humble gesture for Tendulkar, who was present at the stadium, after breaking his former teammate’s unthinkable batting record of most ODI centuries. She wrote:

"How wonderful!! It’s also the great precedent set by Mr. Kohli how he would like to be treated by those who break his records, they must worship the earth he walks on… That’s what he deserves, great man with astonishing self-worth and character."

Virat Kohli top scored for India with a near run-a-ball 117 in the game and the innings marked his eighth fifty-plus score of the ongoing 2023 World Cup. Apart from going past Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time ODI century tally, the 35-year-old also soared above the legendary cricketer for the record of scoring most runs in a single World Cup edition.

Kohli and the rest of his Indian teammates will now go up against Australia in the final of the 2023 World Cup, set to be played on November 19. The high-profile contest will be hosted by the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
