Virat Kohli continued to do what he does best as he once again showcased his immense prowess by smashing a coruscating 94-ball 88 during India`s ICC World Cup 2023 league stage clash against Sri Lanka. This meant he is still one century shy of equalling fellow India great Sachin Tendulkar`s all-time record of 49 one-day international hundreds.
Following a shaky start, which saw Kohli dropped on 10, the current India batting star looked increasingly assured as he completed a run-a-ball fifty on the retired Tendulkar`s Wankhede Stadium home ground as his former team-mate looked on from the stands. But 12 runs shy of equalling the ODI century record of Tendulkar, the 34-year-old Kohli was deceived by a Dilshan Madushanka cutter that he could only chip to cover-point, where Pathum Nissanka held a simple catch.
