Indian stalwart Virat Kohli marked his 35th birthday with a historic performance, equalling the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries.

This magnificent achievement unfolded at the iconic Eden Gardens during the high-octane World Cup 2023 clash against South Africa on Sunday. Adding a poetic touch to the milestone, it was at this very venue that Kohli scored his first ODI century, making his record-equalling feat all the more special.


Anushka Sharma celebrates Virat Kohli's record-equalling century

Virat Kohli’s wife and actor, Anushka Sharma took to Instagram with a heartwarming message to celebrate the landmark moment in Kohli's illustrious career.

As Kohli matched the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries, Anushka's pride was evident in her post. She shared an image of Kohli's jubilant celebration with teammate Ravindra Jadeja on her Instagram story, aptly captioned "Apne birthday pe khudko present" with a red heart emoji, symbolizing a self-gift on his birthday.


Kohli's journey to this historic century was marked by perseverance and suspense. In recent matches leading up to this game, he had consistently approached the century mark, only to fall just short. However, in this key World Cup fixture, Kohli demonstrated exemplary skill under pressure to bring up his ton.

The significance of Kohli's century was twofold. Not only did it solidify his status as one of cricket's all-time greats, but it also contributed significantly to India's huge total of 326/5 on a challenging pitch. This set a high bar for South Africa, who faced the arduous task of chasing down the total against India's strong bowling lineup.

The outcome of the match will be crucial in shaping the World Cup standings. A victory for India would reinforce their top spot, while a win for South Africa could upheave the tournament's dynamics.
