Aakash Chopra Predicts Virat Kohli Will Finish With 98 Centuries
· Sports · Times of India
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has predicted that Virat Kohli will retire with 98 international centuries to his name. Kohli, who currently plays exclusively in the ODI format, has accumulated 86 international hundreds throughout his career. To reach the milestone set by Sachin Tendulkar, who retired with 100 centuries, Kohli would require 15 more. Chopra also expressed concerns regarding the depth of India's ODI team, specifically questioning the side's stability in the absence of all-rounder Hardik Pandya. India is currently competing in a three-match ODI series against West Indies at the New Chandigarh Stadium, where they hold a 2-0 lead.
Why it matters
The prediction highlights the ongoing debate over whether Kohli will surpass Tendulkar's record, a milestone that remains a significant point of interest for Indian cricket fans. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding Hardik Pandya's fitness poses a strategic challenge for India's ODI team composition ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
