Virat Kohli has equalled fellow Indian great Sachin Tendulkar's record for most one-day international centuries after hitting his 49th ton in the format.
Kohli struck a 119-ball hundred against South Africa in Kolkata at the Cricket World Cup on Sunday, on the day he turned 35. The batter scored his maiden ODI century at the same venue 14 years ago, versus Sri Lanka in December 2009. Kohli's team-mate, Rohit Sharma, is third on the all-time list with 31 hundreds, followed by former Australia batter Ricky Ponting and ex-Sri Lanka opener Sanath Jayasuriya .
India have won all seven of their World Cup matches so far, beating Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka. India are trying to replicate their World Cup triumph on home soil in 2011, sealing the title 12 years ago with a six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the final. Kohli carried Tendulkar around Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai after that victory, saying of The Little Master: 'He has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years.
