In a display of sheer brilliance and tenacity, Indian stalwart Virat Kohli achieved a significant milestone, equalling the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI hundreds. This historic feat was accomplished during the high-octane World Cup 2023 clash against South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens on Sunday.

Kohli's journey to this landmark hundred was filled with anticipation and near-misses, heightening the drama and excitement. In recent matches, he had come extremely close to the hundred mark, only to fall short.

However, in this crucial World Cup fixture, Kohli rose to the occasion, demonstrating his skills in challenging conditions on a tricky, double-paced pitch. His moment of glory arrived in the penultimate over of India's innings, as he deftly punched a back-of-a-length delivery from South Africa's pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada to cover for a single, bringing up his century.

The achievement set off a thunderous ovation at the Eden Gardens, with the crowd bursting into cheers and applause, celebrating the modern-day cricketing maestro. Among those visibly ecstatic were prominent figures like Rohit Sharma's wife, Ritika Sajdeh, and Ravichandran Ashwin's wife, Prithi Narayanan. Images of their joyous reactions quickly captured the hearts of fans, spreading like wildfire across social media platforms.




Adding to India's joy, the team posted an imposing total of 326/5 on a challenging pitch. This formidable score set a massive task for the South African team, tasked with chasing down the total against India's robust bowling attack.

A win for India in this match would further solidify their top position in the World Cup points table. On the other hand, a victory for South Africa would not only be a remarkable feat but would also shake up the standings by displacing India from the top spot.
