In a cricketing world that often seems obsessed with statistics and records, one name shines brightly among the stars, and that name is Virat Kohli. On his 35th birthday, this iconic cricketer achieved a milestone that left fans and critics alike in awe. He equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s hallowed record of 49 One Day International (ODI) centuries, showcasing his unmatched talent, unwavering determination, and an undying love for the game.

It was a memorable day for cricket enthusiasts around the globe when Kohli walked out to the pitch at the iconic Eden Gardens during the 2023 World Cup match against South Africa. The expectations were high, and the pressure was immense, but for a player of Kohli’s caliber, challenges are nothing but stepping stones to greatness.

In this high-stakes encounter, Kohli displayed his unmatched prowess with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 101 off 121 balls. It was a masterful performance that had fans on the edge of their seats and experts applauding his remarkable skill. The world watched in awe as India posted a formidable 326/5, largely thanks to Kohli’s heroics.

But Kohli’s contribution wasn’t limited to just scoring centuries. It extended to his leadership and ability to inspire his teammates. His unwavering dedication to excellence was evident when the bowlers took to the field. India’s bowlers, motivated by Kohli’s stellar batting performance, bundled out the Proteas for a mere 83 runs in 27.1 overs. The victory was not only comprehensive but also showcased the all-around strength of the Indian cricket team.

While the world celebrated Kohli’s achievement, there were a few voices in the cricketing fraternity that accused him of selfishly playing for personal gains. They pointed to a perceived slowdown in his innings towards the end, suggesting that he prioritized his century over the team’s cause.

In response to the criticism, former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad came to Kohli’s defense. He vehemently emphasized Kohli’s dedication to the team’s success and his relentless pursuit of excellence. Prasad addressed his critics with a powerful statement that silenced the naysayers and exemplified the essence of Kohli’s commitment to cricket.

“Hearing funny arguments about Virat Kohli being selfish and obsessed with personal milestones. Yes, Kohli is selfish, selfish enough to follow the dream of a billion people, selfish enough to strive for excellence even after achieving so much, selfish enough to set new benchmarks, selfish enough to ensure his team wins. Yes, Kohli is selfish,” Prasad boldly proclaimed.

Kohli’s so-called “selfishness” is, in reality, his relentless pursuit of victory for his team and the millions of cricket fans who follow him. His dedication to the sport and his unwavering commitment to achieving new milestones are proof of his character and his love for the game.
