Virat Kohli can score 75-80 ODI tons, says Wasim Jaffer

Former India batting stalwart Wasim Jaffer predicts skipper Virat Kohli can conclude his international career with 75-80 ODI centuries. The run-machine recently brought up his 42nd limited-overs international hundred in the second ODI against the West Indies. Riding on the swashbuckling century from the captain, Men in Blue humbled the Carribeans to register an emphatic 59-run triumph as the hosts were bundled out for a meager 210 chasing a DLS revised target of 270 in 46 overs.

It is noteworthy to mention that the innings which took the ton count in ODIs to 42, was his first in the preceding 11 knocks over a span of five months. Despite contributing significantly with the bat throughout the World Cup campaign, Virat failed to convert any of his five half-centuries in the tournament into a three-figure mark knock.
