'His role model has been Sachin Tendulkar': Ajinkya Rahane says Virat Kohli can reach 100 centuries under one condition

Virat Kohli recently powered India to an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the opening match of their one-day series. The veteran batter delivered an explosive unbeaten innings of 139 runs from 88 deliveries, launching nine maximums to secure the win with fifty balls remaining.

This strong performance marked his 55th one-day international century and his 86th overall in international competition, reigniting discussions about whether he can ultimately achieve one hundred total centuries.

Following the match, former teammate Ajinkya Rahane stated that the milestone is well within reach if the senior batsman actively focuses on it. Rahane noted that Kohli thrives when placing heavy personal expectations on his own shoulders, mirroring the dedication of his childhood idol, Sachin Tendulkar.

With roughly thirty fixtures remaining in his preferred format, the athlete sits fourteen centuries away from matching that legendary record.
