5 Records that will probably soon be broken

#4. Most Centuries in ODIs (Currently held by Sachin Tendulkar with 49 hundreds)

Tendulkar celebrates yet another ODI century

Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI hundreds is remarkable. When he retired from the game, Ricky Ponting was second to him with only 30.

This would suggest that Tendulkar's record would last for some time, except that Tendulkar lives in a world where Virat Kohli exists.

For all Kohli's remarkable skills, perhaps his most impressive is his ability to convert fifties into hundreds, particularly in ODIs. Kohli converts 44.19% of his ODI fifties into centuries. To put this in perspective, Tendulkar's conversion rate, while impressive, dwindles in comparison, at just 33.79%.

Kohli's ability to turn starts into hundreds means he already has 38 ODI centuries to his name, despite having played less than half the amount of ODIs Tendulkar has. It, therefore, seems inevitable that he will soon reach and then surpass Tendulkar's record.

Similarly, Kohli is just six centuries away from passing Ponting's record of most ODI centuries as captain. Ponting made 22 centuries in 230 games as captain, whereas Kohli incredibly has 16 in just 57 games.

Ponting and Tendulkar's records are formidable, but Kohli's ODI record is unparalleled.
