Virat Kohli’s sister Bhawna Dhingra explained why her brother could break the world record of Sachin Tendulkar for the most ODI hundreds by a cricketer in the game’s history. Kohli scored his 50th ODI hundred earlier today in the India vs New Zealand semifinal match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
With his innings of 117 runs, Kohli broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most hundreds by a cricketer in ODI cricket history. During his time as an active cricketer, Tendulkar registered 49 ODI centuries. Now, Kohli has become the number one on the list by scoring 50 hundreds.
Taking to Instagram after her brother’s massive achievement, Bhawna Dhingra wrote:
“Proud is a lesser word This is miracle that could only happen to you cuz this game is your life.”
Virat Kohli’s sister has been a supporter of the star Indian cricketer since the start of his career
Virat Kohli’s sister has always believed in her brother’s talent, and she has supported him through his ups and downs in cricket. Today, she posted a collage of three images as her brother broke the record owned by Sachin Tendulkar. There was a photo of Kohli celebrating the century, along with a photo each of Anushka Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar clapping from the stands at the Wankhede Stadium.
“I said it in Kolkata, it feels great for me honestly. It feels too good to be true, like the stuff of dreams. I never thought it would be like this in my career. Just glad everything came together so nicely and we put a great total on the board,” Kohli said after the innings ended.
Kohli’s hundred helped the Indian cricket team post 397 runs on the board in 50 overs. New Zealand will have to play out of their skins to chase the 398-run target against an in-form Indian bowling lineup.
