India and Bangladesh In the match played against India on Thursday, Virat Kohli scored 48th century of his ODI cricket career. By scoring this century, he is now just one century behind Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries. Virat Kohli completed his century yesterday on the last ball. Earlier the Bangladeshi player had bowled a wide ball. Fans raised questions on this wide ball and said that Bangladeshi spinner Nasum Ahmed had knowingly bowled the wide ball so that Kohli could not score his century. On this, Bangladesh’s acting captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto has given clarification and said that we had no such intention. No bowler bowls wide intentionally.

Virat Kohli scored his 48th century by hitting a six.

In the India-Bangladesh match, when the wide ball was bowled, Kohli was playing on 97 runs and there were nine overs left in the match, while India needed only two runs to achieve the target of 257 runs. At that time Ahmed bowled the ball outside the leg side which was not declared wide by on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough. Kohli completed his century by hitting a six over deep midwicket in the 42nd over and led India to victory.

Virat Kohli has scored 77 centuries

Sachin Tendulkar is the first player in the world to score a ‘century of centuries’. If there is still any player close to this record, it is Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli has scored 77 centuries in his career. After him is the name of Ricky Ponting who has scored 71 centuries in his career. At number four is Kumar Sangakkara, who has scored 63 centuries in his career and at number five is Jacques Kallis, who has scored 62 centuries. Apart from Virat Kohli, all the players in this list have retired, hence breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record is not easy.
