Over the years, Virat Kohli has established himself as a go-getter in the world of international cricket. His career stats aren’t only praiseworthy but also revolutionary. The world of cricket has witnessed several record-breaking moments courtesy of the former all-format Indian captain, be it in Test cricket, One Day Internationals (ODIs) or Twenty20 Internationals (T20s). Kohli has proved his mettle with dominant performances in all formats of the game.


This year began on a special note for Kohli with his brilliantly controlled innings of 166 runs off 110 balls in the final match of the three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka. Having scored his 21st century, Kohli broke two records held by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, for scoring most ODI centuries at home and against a single team. The year 2023 also saw him overtake Sri Lankan batting maestro Mahela Jayawardene to occupy the fifth spot on the list of batsmen scoring most ODI runs. Only Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya have more runs than Kohli now.

Putting an end to his Test century drought on Day 4 of the fourth and final Test match against Australia, Kohli led India's batting onslaught, top-scoring for the side as the hosts toppled Australia's mammoth 1st innings total. India, riding on his blistering knock, posted a colossal total of 571 in the first session at Ahmedabad, forging a 91-run lead.  

The 34-year-old put on a batting masterclass to notch up a cracking century in 241 balls against Australia. His 75th international century was the second-slowest ton in his iconic career. In the similar vein, here is a look at the list of his international centuries to date.
