Written by Vishwas Gupta

Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli’s makes batting look so easy that it has prompted former Pakistan bowling legend Shoaib Akhtar to set him an incredibly stiff challenge. Praising Virat Kohli’s blistering century against the Windies, Shoaib Akhtar said he wants the Indian skipper to cross the 120 hundred-mark. Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar (100) holds the record of a century of centuries in all the three formats of the game.

Given Virat Kohli’s form with the bat and his age, it seems reaching the 120+ centuries-mark would happen sooner rather than later. “Guwahati. Visakhapatnam. Pune. Virat Kohli is something else man with three ODI hundreds in a row, the first India batsman to achieve that .. what a great run machine he is ..Keep it up cross 120 hundred mark as I set up for you”, Shoaib Akhtar had posted on his official Twitter account.

Kohli currently has 24 Test centuries and 38 ODI tons to his name. On the list of overall batsmen with the most hundreds in their career, Kohli occupies the fourth spot with 62 hundreds.

In last 15 completed ODI innings, Kohli has scored 1,348 runs, recorded seven centuries and 3 fifties, at an average of 122.55.
