IND vs SL ODI: Virat Kohli on the verge of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time records

Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket superstar, heads into the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka with the goal of shattering some of Sachin Tendulkar’s ‘all-time records’ in the 50-over format

Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar

After a brief sabbatical, veteran India batter Virat Kohli returns to the cricketing fold as India prepares to face Sri Lanka in a three-match One-Day International series beginning Tuesday. In the assignment, Kohli will be attempting to break two all-time records held by none other than his idol and the God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar.

Kohli, who is one of the most prolific batters in the game, recently got a century in a 50-over match. He’d like to pick up where he left off in the encounter against Bangladesh.

Sachin Tendulkar is a name that needs no introduction. Tendulkar set several world records during his stellar career that spanned nearly two decades. Some of them, though, may be shattered by Virat Kohli in the ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Most ODI hundreds at home

When it comes to most centuries in 50-over international cricket, Sachin Tendulkar ranks first. With 19, Virat Kohli is only one tonne behind. If the former India captain scores a few of hundreds against Sri Lanka in the three-match series, he will break Tendulkar’s record.

Most hundreds in ODIs against a single team

Kohli has already scored eight hundreds in one-day internationals against Sri Lanka. Sachin Tendulkar has the same amount of tonnes as the islanders. However, the record for most hundreds against a single opponent is 9, which Tendulkar and Kohli share against the West Indies and Australia, respectively.

Kohli will have 9 hundreds versus Sri Lanka after another century. With two tonnes in the series, the 33-year-old will have 10 triple-digit scores against the Lankans, a feat no one else in the game has accomplished.

Chennai Super Kings crushed Gujarat Titans to secure a victory by 63 runs at the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Tuesday. The Gujarat Titans won the toss but nothing seemed to go right for Gujarat Titans as Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team dominated the Gujarat Titans in all departments of the game.

Chennai super Kings captain Rururaj Gaikwad said Shivam Dube has worked on his weakness against the short ball quite well and it has a lot to do with Mahendra Singh Dhoni personally working with the Mumbai batsman. The left handed batsman smashed 5 sixes in his 23 ball half century.

The Gujarat Titans were set to chase a target of 207 by the Chennai Super Kings. The Gujarat Titans were under pressure from the start to score at above 10 an over. The pitch offered even pace and bounce and Gujarat Titans batsmen failed to make a match of it.

Deepak Chahal rattled the Gujarat Titans plans right at the start of the innings. Chahar sent back openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubhman Gill with only 34 runs on the board. Gujarat Titans skipper was dismissed as he was trapped lbw for 8 runs (5 balls). Gill opted for a review which showed that he did not have any clue about the trajectory and line of the ball as well as his own position in front of the stumps.

But for Sai Sudarshan there was no contribution which could be mentioned. Tushar Deshpande (2/21), Mustafizur Rahman (2/30) and Chahar (2/28) did the job for CSK with the ball. A T20 innings with more dot balls than boundaries and sixes was bound to end up in a losing cause. Chennai Super Kings has moved on the top the table with back to back wins. Rachin Ravindra took charge with a six off a Umesh Yadav length ball and did not stop thereafter as long as he stayed in the middle.
