Former Australian star Brett Lee has revealed his dream for Virat Kohli.

The former Aussie speedster has claimed that he is looking forward to Virat Kohli scoring 100 centuries for India in international cricket. 

The 34-year-old Indian batsman is currently on 71 centuries across all formats and Lee claims that Kohli could eclipse Sachin Tendulkar's phenomenal feat over the next few years. 

After three years in wilderness, Kohli has bounced back in style during the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022. Kohli has been in remarkable form during the World Cup as well. It remains to be seen whether he can guide India to the trophy later this week. 

Kohli has scored three unbeaten half centuries in the tournament so far and he has amassed 246 runs in total from five innings. 

India will take on England in the semi finals tomorrow. Meanwhile, Pakistan will be gunning for a spot in the finals as well when they take on New Zealand in the semis later today. 

As quoted by Hindustan Times, Lee said: 

"Around the age when most cricketers start to wind down at 34 - their eyes might be getting a little dodgy, their reflexes aren't as quick or sharp. I think that with your training, preparation and fitness, your career is just beginning. I am going to put you down for another 4-5 more years and what excites me is that at 71 hundreds to your name, I believe you can be the person that gets 100 hundreds for your country. Mate, you play another 3-4 year, score 10 hundreds a year going forward... that will set you apart from the rest. I have that dream for you."
