Once termed a "Run Machine", Virat Kohli could churn out centuries effortlessly. ‘King Kohli’, as fans call him, has had his share of failures, one that did not end long ago. The former Indian skipper ended his century drought, which extended over two years last year in the Asia Cup against Afghanistan. Since then, he has shown signs of a return to form, enthralling viewers with exquisite cover drives and wristy flicks.

Virat Kohli’s ODIs centuries

Virat Kohli has 50 centuries in the 50-over format, with a highest score of 183, at an impressive average of 58.68.

One of his best knocks came in 2012 against Sri Lanka at Hobart. Kohli’s well-paced innings of 133* (86) allowed India to chase 321 in 36.4 overs, boosting the NRR. Unfortunately, this memorable knock featuring 16 fours and two sixes proved futile in the end. Australia went down to Sri Lanka in the final group game of the tri-series, allowing the latter to qualify for the finals.

Recently in the World Cup 2023, Virat Kohli slammed the most number of hundreds (50) in ODIs.
