Full List of Virat Kohli Achievements and Records Broken in Raipur ODI
Virat Kohli, one of the biggest names in cricket, once again showed why he is called the king of ODI cricket. On Wednesday in Raipur, Virat Kohli scored his 53rd ODI century against South Africa. This hundred helped Virat Kohli equal Sachin Tendulkar’s world record and added many new Virat Kohli achievements to his long list. Even though India lost the match by 4 wickets, Virat Kohli records broken on that day made headlines all over the world.
Virat Kohli Equals Sachin Tendulkar’s Record of Most ODI Centuries at Different Grounds
The biggest news from the Raipur ODI is that Virat Kohli now has ODI centuries at 34 different venues. This is exactly the same number as the great Sachin Tendulkar. No other player has scored hundreds at so many different cricket grounds in ODI history.
- Sachin Tendulkar – 34 venues
- Virat Kohli – 34 venues (now equal)
- Rohit Sharma – 26 venues (still far behind)
This Virat Kohli achievement shows how well he plays in every corner of the world. Whether the pitch is fast, slow, big ground or small, Virat Kohli finds a way to score a hundred. This is one of the strongest Virat Kohli records broken or equalled in recent times.
Virat Kohli Now Has 11 Back-to-Back ODI Century Streaks
Another amazing Virat Kohli record is about scoring centuries in two matches in a row. Virat Kohli has done this 11 different times in his career. That means 11 times he has scored a century in one match and then scored another century in the very next ODI match.
The second-best player in this list is AB de Villiers with only 6 such streaks. So Virat Kohli is almost double ahead of everyone else. The Raipur century came right after his century in the first ODI, so this became his 11th back-to-back century pair. This Virat Kohli achievement is very hard to beat.
Most ODI Centuries Against South Africa – Virat Kohli Leads
Virat Kohli loves playing against South Africa. In Raipur, he scored his 7th ODI century against South Africa. No batsman in the history of cricket has more ODI hundreds against the Proteas.
Top list:
- Virat Kohli – 7 centuries vs South Africa
- Sachin Tendulkar – 5
- David Warner – 5
Because of this century, Virat Kohli now has 7 or more ODI centuries against four different teams:
- Sri Lanka – 10 centuries
- West Indies – 9 centuries
- Australia – 8 centuries
- South Africa – 7 centuries
Before him, only Sachin Tendulkar had 7 or more centuries against four teams. So Virat Kohli joined Sachin in this special club. This is another big Virat Kohli record broken in the Raipur match.
Best Conversion Rate from Fifty to Hundred in ODI History
When Virat Kohli scores a fifty, he almost always turns it into a hundred. Out of 128 times he has scored 50 or more runs in ODIs, he has converted 53 into centuries. That is a conversion rate of 41.4%. This is the highest in ODI cricket history among players who have played at least 100 innings.
Compare with others:
- Hashim Amla – 40.91%
- Other active players are far behind
This Virat Kohli achievement shows how much he hates getting out after reaching fifty. He keeps batting and batting until he reaches three figures. This is one of the most respected Virat Kohli records.
Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad Create India’s Highest Partnership vs South Africa
In the same match, Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad added 195 runs together for the second wicket. This is now India’s highest partnership in ODIs against South Africa. The old record was 194 runs between Sachin Tendulkar and Dinesh Karthik in 2010.
Ruturaj Gaikwad also scored his century from just 77 balls – the fastest ODI hundred by an Indian against South Africa. But the partnership will always be remembered because of Virat Kohli’s name attached to it.
Quick Look at Virat Kohli’s Overall ODI Century Count
After the Raipur century, Virat Kohli has 53 ODI centuries. He is just 4 centuries away from Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record of 49 international centuries on Indian soil, but more importantly, he is now only 6 centuries away from Sachin’s world record of 49 ODI centuries? Wait – no! Virat Kohli already has 53, which means he broke Sachin’s 49 ODI centuries record a long time back in 2023. Now every new century only adds to the gap between Virat Kohli and everyone else.
Current top 3 ODI century makers:
- Virat Kohli – 53 centuries
- Sachin Tendulkar – 49 centuries
- Rohit Sharma – 31 centuries
So Virat Kohli records broken long ago include the biggest one – most ODI centuries by any player ever.
