On Sunday, the ‘run machine’ Virat Kohli smashed another century against Sri Lanka, registering his 46th ODI hundred in the third match of the series. In the process, Kohli went on to break two of Sachin Tendulkar’s ‘all-time records’. Kohli now sits ahead of Tendulkar in the list of most ODI centuries at home, and also holds the record of scoring the highest number of tons against a single team in the 50-over format of international cricket. However, Kohli is still short of 3 ODI centuries to match Sachin’s record of 49 ODI centuries.
Reportedly, Sachin is likely to cancel his retirement and make a comeback in ODIs to ensure his record is intact. After tweeting “Stop the Count”, when a fan asked Sachin if his record of most ODIs will be broken, Sachin replied “Definitely Not”.
Social media users and cricket experts are speculating that Sachin will make a comeback in ODIs to make the record of most ODIs tougher to break.
Sachins fans, also wrote to Virat Kohli requesting him not to score more ODIs centuries as a mark of respect to the cricketing God Sachin Tendulkar. Details awaited.
