Renowned cricketer Brian Lara, despite his admiration for Virat Kohli’s batting prowess, casts doubt on the possibility of Kohli surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international centuries. Kohli recently achieved a historic milestone by securing 50 centuries in ODIs during a World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.
While Kohli’s dominance in ODIs has been remarkable, Lara points out the formidable challenge of reaching the coveted 100-century mark. With Kohli currently at 80 centuries and facing limited ODIs in the upcoming schedule, the cricketing legend emphasizes the uncertainty surrounding Kohli’s T20I future and the need for a strong red-ball cricket focus.
Lara, acknowledging Kohli’s age of 35, outlines the demanding task ahead. “If he scores five centuries every year, he’d need four more years to equal Tendulkar. Kohli will be 39 then. Tough job, very tough job,” Lara asserts.
Expressing skepticism about cricketing logic, Lara notes that predicting Kohli breaking Tendulkar’s record may be overly ambitious. “Most cricketers can’t score that in their entire career. I won’t be adventurous and say Kohli will do it,” he adds. Lara, however, acknowledges Kohli’s exceptional discipline and dedication, expressing his admiration and best wishes for the Indian captain’s future endeavors.
While Kohli’s outstanding performance in the recent ODI World Cup showcased his ability, Lara dismisses claims that Kohli slowed down for specific milestones. “Those saying all these are jealous of him. They are envious of the amount of runs he has scored,” Lara counters, reflecting on the challenges he faced in his own career.
As Kohli continues his cricketing journey, the pursuit of 100 international centuries remains a formidable task, with Lara offering realistic insights into the difficulties ahead for the Indian cricket stalwart.
