Kohli is seven centuries away from breaking Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Kohli is very much likely to break the record sooner or later. However, the right-hander will be keen to go past another Tendulkar record, which is 100 centuries across formats. As of now, Kohli has 70 centuries across formats against his name.

“I wish but it is difficult. In ODI’s it is possible but 100 hundred is not easy. It depends on his fitness and longevity, if Virat can play as long as Sachin did then he might be able to achieve it,” Pathan said during a live chat on Sports Tak. Not MS Dhoni or Sourav Gangly!
