The entire world witnessed one of the greatest innings of Virat Kohli and he ensured India entered the finals of the World Cup 2023. Wishes are now pouring in for Kohli for scoring his 50th ODI century.

Virat Kohli surpassed legend Sachin Tendulkar as the international batter with the highest number of centuries in ODI cricket.

Former BCCI Secretary Sourav Ganguly also didn’t take any time to appreciate Virat Kohli’s excellence with the bat in the semi-final match against New Zealand.

“It will take a lot of beating to go past this and he is not finished yet. It is a phenomenal achievement. “Ganguly said during an interaction in Eden Gardens Kolkata.

“India are playing incredible cricket at the moment. Be it Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer or the bowlers.”

“It’s a complete side, theirs is tremendous talent in this team, and we need to take one step at a time.” He added.

Ganguly also lauded the Indian team for playing an astounding brand of cricket 

Apart from that, several records have been broken after Virat Kohli reached his 50th ton. He surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of 673 runs which he scored in the 2003 World Cup. He now stands with 711 runs to his name in a World Cup tournament.

Mohammad Shami also became the fastest to reach 50 wickets in World Cup history in the Semis against New Zealand. He is now the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 23 wickets to his name.
