PAK vs IND: Hotstar Viewership Peaked At 2.7cr When Virat Kohli Reached His Century

PAK vs IND: In the world of cricket, records are etched into history, representing the prowess and skill of legendary players. One such legend who has been consistently rewriting the record books is Virat Kohli. In a scintillating ODI innings against Pakistan during the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup, Kohli achieved a remarkable milestone – he crossed the 13,000-run mark in One Day Internationals (ODIs). This achievement not only solidified his status as one of the greatest contemporary cricketers but also saw him surpass a long-standing record held by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Let’s delve into the details of this historic moment in cricket.

During that unforgettable match against Pakistan, Virat Kohli showcased his batting brilliance. He reached the milestone of 13,000 ODI runs, a feat only achieved by four other players before him: Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Mahela Jayawardene. What sets Kohli apart is the speed at which he achieved this remarkable feat. While it took Tendulkar 321 innings to reach the 13,000-run mark, Kohli accomplished it in just 267 innings, making him the quickest to achieve this milestone. Ponting and Sangakkara, two other cricketing legends, also took more than 300 innings to reach this record, while Jayasuriya reached it in 416 innings. Kohli’s consistency and ability to score runs consistently have propelled him to this historic position.

Virat Kohli’s excellence extends beyond just accumulating runs. He is the only player among the elite group of five to maintain an average of over 50 in ODIs. This statistic showcases his extraordinary ability to not only score runs but also to do so consistently and effectively. It’s a testament to his cricketing acumen and unwavering commitment to his craft.

As if reaching the 13,000-run milestone and maintaining an average over 50 weren’t impressive enough, Kohli is also closing in on Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most ODI centuries. Tendulkar’s record stands at 49 ODI centuries, and Kohli is just two centuries away from equaling this remarkable achievement. This tantalizing chase has cricket enthusiasts on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting Kohli’s quest to match and potentially surpass Tendulkar’s iconic record.

During the match against Pakistan, Virat Kohli displayed his prowess as he took only 55 balls to reach his half-century. However, it was his acceleration in the latter part of his innings that left cricket fans in awe. Kohli needed just 29 more balls to secure his 47th ODI century. This remarkable display of batting showcased his ability to shift gears seamlessly and dominate the opposition.

The success of a cricket team often hinges on partnerships, and in this match, Kohli found a valuable partner in KL Rahul. The two combined effectively to build a strong foundation for India. Rahul’s century complemented Kohli’s remarkable innings, and together, they ensured that India posted a formidable total in Colombo. Their partnership was a testament to the depth of talent in the Indian cricket team.
