In a magnificent display of cricket at its finest, Indian batting maestro, Virat Kohli scripted history during the adrenaline-charged first semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2023 in Mumbai.

Mentor and protege share emotional hug as Kohli surpasses Tendulkar's record



Against the backdrop of a packed stadium, Kohli unleashed a masterclass against New Zealand, scoring his 50th ODI century that not only sent waves of excitement through the crowd but also broke a record held by none other than his idol, Sachin Tendulkar.

The moment was as surreal as it was historic. As Kohli brought up his ton, the audience erupted in a frenzy. But it was what happened during the mid-inning break that captured the hearts of millions.

In a scene that would be cherished for generations, Tendulkar, the Master-Blaster himself, embraced Kohli in a warm, congratulatory hug. This warm exchange, filled with smiles and a few whispered words, was not just a passing of the torch but a symbol of the timeless spirit of cricket.



Meanwhile, Kohli's journey in this World Cup has been nothing short of a spectacle. Amassing an extraordinary 711 runs at an average of 101.57 across 10 innings, his bat has been a wand weaving magic on the field. His century led India to a massive score of 397/4 against New Zealand.

As the match progressed, India's dominance was further asserted by Mohammed Shami's stellar performance, sending New Zealand's openers back to the pavilion and setting the stage for an Indian win.
