With five consecutive victories, India has gotten off to an outstanding start at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Sunil Gavaskar, the legendary batsman Virat Kohli, has audaciously foretold the future world record of Kohli. Kohli is expected to score his 50th ODI century on a momentous occasion, according to Gavaskar. The renowned batsman from India is one hundred runs short of matching the record set by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
According to Gavaskar's forecast, Virat will score his 50th ODI century against South Africa on November 5, which also happens to be the birthday of the latter team. The 'Little Master' emphasizes that this is precisely the time to establish a world record. The author emphasizes the significance of Eden Garden, Kolkata, as the designated venue, claiming that the ambiance will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on every cricketer.
"On his birthday, Kohli will smash his 50th ODI century at the Eden Gardens against South Africa; what better occasion could there be?" The spectacle is breathtaking when you smash a ton there, as the crowd in Kolkata applauds and gives you a standing ovation; the atmosphere is filled with whistles and claps. "Every batter should savor this moment," Gavaskar told Star Sports.
India will face England on October 29
Kohli is beckoned by a formidable record against equally formidable opponents. In his 49th ODI against New Zealand, he narrowly missed the century mark by five runs. At present, his tally stands at 48 ODI centuries; to surpass Sachin Tendulkar, he requires merely one more, while two more would set a new world record. A century and 354 runs in five innings comprise the 34-year-old's impressive form at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Bangladesh in Pune.
India is scheduled to play England at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 29. On November 2, the country will travel to Mumbai for a match against Sri Lanka. It would be fascinating to observe whether the Delhi batsman can score his next century in either of these two matches, which could potentially help India extend its winning run in the ongoing ICC World Cup.
