Virat Kohli’s Landmark 50th ODI Century Earns Praise from Cricket Legends

Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, in an exclusive interview on the Star Sports show ‘CRICKET LIVE’, hailed Virat Kohli’s historic 50th ODI century, acknowledging the immense significance of the milestone for Indian cricket and its followers.

Gavaskar expressed, “You always have people who have set the bar and the standard. Then you want somebody to come and raise the bar a little further, and that’s exactly what Virat Kohli has done with his performances.”

Gavaskar lauded Kohli’s stellar performance in the ICC Men’s CWC 23, highlighting his exceptional form, accumulating nearly 700 runs and two centuries in the tournament, alongside multiple significant contributions. He emphasized the team’s collective effort and Kohli’s unique achievement, marking November 15th as a historic day for witnessing Kohli’s record-breaking feat.

Former England captain Nasser Hussain echoed Gavaskar’s sentiments, praising Kohli’s feat, especially achieving the milestone on Sachin Tendulkar’s home ground in a World Cup semi-final, showcasing remarkable style and power. Hussain stated, “The modern day master has just gone past the Little Master. He’s the best in the world, it’s as simple as that. He’s a genius.”

Additionally, former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri lauded Kohli’s dedication, work ethics, and preparation, highlighting the batsman’s perseverance through a period without a century for three years. Shastri emphasized Kohli’s relentless commitment, attributing his success to unwavering determination and hard work. Shastri acknowledged the significance of Kohli’s 50th century in a World Cup, underscoring the monumental nature of this achievement for the prolific batsman.
