Mumbai: West Indies legend Brian Lara said that despite breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in ODIs in the last World Cup, Virat Kohli will not be able to surpass Sachin’s record of 100 centuries in international cricket. Kohli scored his 50th century in the last ODI World Cup, surpassing Sachin’s record of 49 ODI centuries. Virat Kohli needs 20 more centuries to match Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 centuries.
Despite being a big fan of Virat Kohli, Brian Lara said there is no logic behind saying that Virat Kohli will surpass Tendulkar’s record of centuries. Virat Kohli has turned 35. 20 more centuries are needed to match Sachin Tendulkar’s record. If he scores at least five centuries each year, Kohli can join Sachin Tendulkar in four years. Kohli will be 39 by then. It is not easy, not easy at all,” said Lara in an interview with Anand Bazar Patrika.

Kohli will break many other records of Sachin Tendulkar. But it does not seem possible to cross 100 centuries. Even from the point of view of cricket, it does not make sense. Those who say that Kohli will surpass Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries are saying it without any logic. Because 20 centuries is a long time. Many cricketers don’t even have 20 centuries in their entire career. Kohli’s age will not matter, but still I am not bold enough to say that Kohli will surpass Tendulkar.

100 centuries will be very difficult to beat, even if Sachin’s record is surpassed by Kohli. But if anyone can, it’s only Kohli at the moment. At least Kohli can come close to Sachin. Anyone who sees Kohli’s preparation and hard work for every match will become a fan of him. I’m a fan too. Lara said that if Kohli completes 100 centuries, he will be the most happy person.
