Sachin scored 20 centuries at home, and now Kohli has the same number of the century in ODI cricket at home. Sachin Tendulkar took 164 matches to smash 20 centuries at home; however, Kohli achieved this feat in just 102 matches. Virat Kohli has 12584 runs to his name in ODIs, including 45 centuries and 64 fifties. He is only behind Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Mahela Jayawardene in the elite list of top run-getter in ODIs.
Another record break by Virat Kohli with this century. Kohli scored 9 centuries against Sri Lanka in ODI cricket, and Sachin has 8 centuries to his name. And also became the first batter to smash 9 century against Sri Lanka in 50 over format. Also, Kohli and Tendulkar sit jointly at the top of the list with 9 centuries against the West Indies and Australia, respectively.
