History was made today in Indore. Virat Kohli reached a massive milestone against New Zealand. He scored his 85th international century during the third One Day International (ODI). The crowd at the Holkar Stadium cheered loudly for the star batter.
India faced a tough challenge while chasing a big target of 338 runs. New Zealand scored high thanks to centuries from Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips. India lost early wickets and the pressure grew. Kohli stayed calm and anchored the innings. He hit 8 fours and 2 sixes on his way to the hundred. He reached the mark in just 91 balls.
This hundred is Kohli’s 54th in ODI cricket. He now has 85 centuries across all formats of the game. He is now only 15 centuries away from Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of 100 hundreds.
Kohli found good support from young players like Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana. Even though India struggled, Kohli showed why many call him the best. He kept the run chase alive with his masterful batting. This innings proves that Kohli is still in world-class form.
