#3 Most centuries as an ODI captain

The legendary Australian captain, Ricky Ponting, currently holds the record of most number of centuries (22) as an ODI captain. At 22 ODI centuries as a captain, Ponting happens to be the only player to score 20 or more ODI tons as the skipper of his national side.
However, Ponting's record happens to be achievable as one player is envisioned to surpass the Australian legend in the year 2019. No brainer, the player is the current Indian captain Virat Kohli. Arguably the best batsman at the moment, Kohli has scored as many as 16 ODI centuries as a captain. Thus, in the year 2019, he will be short of seven ODI tons to dethrone Ponting's record.
Scoring seven ODI centuries in a year calls for an uphill task, but, considering Kohli's caliber as a batsman, this very job seems achievable. In addition to that, India will be playing a decent amount of ODI cricket in the year 2019 which strengthens the argument.
