3 World Records Virat Kohli can break in the remaining matches of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

Virat Kohli has been in superb form for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. He is among the top scorers in the tournament and is India’s highest run-getter. Virat recently scored his 49th ODI ton on his 35th birthday to equal Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record for most ODI hundreds.

Now, Virat and Sachin have both 49 ODI hundreds, which is the most in history. On the other hand, India has qualified for the semi-finals and still has one more game to play on Sunday against Netherlands. If Virat can continue his good form, then there are three massive records that he can break in the remaining games for India.

Here are 3 Massive Records which Virat Kohli can break in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

1. Most ODI Hundreds

Virat Kohli scored his 49th ODI hundred in India’s last game against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He scored an unbeaten 101 runs, including the fours, and India won the game by 243 runs. With this, he equaled Sachin’s record of most ODI hundreds. Now, Virat needs one more hundred to become the first player to score 50 ODI tons. India has two games, and if they qualify for the finals, then there are three matches. If Virat can score one more hundred in three games, he will write history.

2. Most Runs in single World Cup edition

Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for the most runs in a single edition of the World Cup. He scored 673 runs in 11 innings during the 2003 World Cup. Virat Kohli has scored 543 runs in the ongoing tournament at an average of 108.60. He is 140 runs behind Sachin. If he can score a big hundred in the coming games or two good knocks, he can go past Sachin to score the most runs in a single World Cup edition. With the form he is in, it looks possible.

3. Most 50+ scores in single World Cup edition

Virat Kohli has already scored two hundred and four half-centuries in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 so far. He has crossed the 50-run mark six times in just eight games already. India still has 2 or 3 (if they qualify for the final) games left to play. If Virat can score two more 50-plus scores, then he will cross the joint-record held by Sachin’ and Shakib Al Hasan for most 50-plus scores in a single World Cup edition. Sachin scored one hundred and six fifties in 2003. Shakib crossed 50 runs (two hundred and 5 half-centuries) seven times in the 2019 editions.
