Key ODI Centuries by Virat Kohli

1. 133* vs Sri Lanka in CB Series in 2012 is still the best ODI Virat Kohli century innings to me. Chasing a huge total of 320, Virat made sure India reach the final line under 40 overs to keep the Final dream in that series alive then.

You can read the Story of that unbelievable Innings and watch the highlights of that Innings here.

2. 100* (52 balls) vs Australia in Jaipur in 2013, is the fastest ever Indian ODI century! Once again the century has come while chasing. The target was 360 this time and Virat’s super-fast century made India reach the finish line in just 43.3 Overs.

3. 183 vs Pakistan in Dhaka in 2012, is Virat’s first ODI century against Pakistan and his highest individual ODI score so far. Interestingly, Virat, MS Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly, the 3 top captains of Indian cricket team, has their highest individual scores in ODI as 183.

Wrapping it up!

Incidentally, Virat Kohli has the highest 100s per Innings percentage in ODIs among the players who have played a minimum of 30 ODI Innings – 18.45.

Trust me, these are not ordinary numbers in cricket.

One slight mistake, the batsman will have to walk out. No second chances! That is why, batting in cricket, is unique and different than other sports!
