Michael Vaughan drops massive Lionel Messi comparison for Virat Kohli
Michael Vaughan is mighty pleased with Kohli’s form and believes that he will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most ODI hundreds in the ongoing mega event.

India are in a strong position in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, having won their last five matches in a row. The team commanded by Rohit Sharma are the only unbeatens in the tournament and currently lead the points table with ten points after five matches.
India's outstanding performance thus far in the cricketing spectacle has been significantly influenced by the red-hot form of their star batsman Virat Kohli, who has amassed the second-most runs scored in the competition.
Michael Vaughan, a former captain of England, is extremely optimistic about Kohli's form and is certain he will surpass Sachin Tendulkar's record for most ODI hundreds during the ongoing mega event.
Vaughan added that the batting superstar's future is predetermined and drew a parallel between him and the legendary Lionel Messi, who contributed his "A game" to Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup victory. Notably, Messi's leadership of his team to a momentous victory earned him the Player of the Tournament award.
"Virat Kohli is the best opponent in the chase." It would not be unexpected for him to finish 49th prior to the final and 50th during the final. The stars contain the writing. I actually stated it on social media: World Cups invariably attract tremendously talented athletes. It establishes the nature of their legacies. Consider the footballers: Lionel Messi successfully led Argentina to victory at the World Cup. "Although Virat has already triumphed in a World Cup, you have a feeling he will lead India to victory once more," Vaughan said on the Club Prairie Fire podcast.
Kohli, who has amassed 48 ODI centuries, came perilously close to surpassing Tendulkar's 49-century mark in the format during India's most recent match against New Zealand in Dharamsala. Nevertheless, he failed to reach the milestone by five runs and was discharged on 95 after attempting to do so with a six.
