Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 27 (PTI) Virat Kohli struck his record-extending 55th ODI century here during the opening match against the West Indies on Sunday.
Kohli, having completed his half-century earlier in the innings off only 40 balls, crossed the triple-figure mark on the 74th ball he faced. He brought up the feat with a six over the bowler Gudakesh Motie’s head.
The right-handed batter clobbered six sixes and as many fours to complete his 55th ODI century.
Kohli had also completed 15,000 ODI runs earlier in the innings when he reached 59 runs, becoming only the second batter in history and also from India to complete the feat.
He remains second in the list behind the legendary Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs) to have scored most runs un ODI cricket. PTI DDV DDV AH
