Virat Kohli- Surging ahead with tons and records

King of Chases

“Records are meant to be broken.” True to the quote, the current Indian captain has already bettered couple of Sachin Tendulkar's records in terms of ODI centuries, the more eye-catching one being his record while chasing totals.

The 29-year-old overtook Mumbaikar’s record of most ODI hundreds (17) in chases last year during the fifth ODI against West Indies in Jamaica. With the recent ton at Centurion, Kohli has extended his record to 21 centuries.

The aggressive right-hander has also surged ahead of the game’s most prolific run-getter in the record of most ODI hundreds in successful chases. He has helped India chase down their opponent’s total 19 times after scoring century while Tendulkar's centuries scripted only 14 successful chases for India during his playing days.
