The Former legendary Indian cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar, made a prediction that Virat Kohli is poised to achieve a remarkable feat by scoring his 50th ODI century during the ongoing World Cup, and he’s anticipating this milestone to be reached on Virat’s birthday when India faces South Africa.
India’s ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign has got off in a remarkable fashion, with the team notching up five consecutive victories. The famous batsman, Sunil Gavaskar, has made a daring prediction regarding Virat Kohli’s future, foreseeing that Kohli will reach his 50th ODI century on a very historic occasion. Currently, Kohli is just one century away from tying the incredible record set by the great Sachin Tendulkar.
Gavaskar’s prediction says that Virat Kohli will attain this milestone on November 5, coinciding with South Africa’s birthday. The ‘Little Master’ underlines the uniqueness of this opportunity, underlining the historical significance of the magnificent Eden Gardens in Kolkata as the chosen setting. The mood and location of this ground are certain to provide an unforgettable occasion for every cricketer.
“Kohli will slam his 50th ODI Century against South Africa at the Eden Gardens and what better occasion than his birthday? It’s a sight when you slam a ton there because the Kolkata crowd gives you a standing ovation, and cheers for you, the air is filled with whistles and claps. It is a moment to savour for every batter,” said Gavaskar on Star Sports.
Kohli came so close to notching his 49th ODI century against New Zealand, falling just five runs shy of the milestone. He’s presently sitting on a phenomenal 48 ODI hundreds, needing only one more to reach the legendary status of Sachin Tendulkar, and just two more to etch his name in the record books. At 34 years old, his spectacular performance in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has been nothing short of impressive, accumulating 354 runs in only five innings, with a century against Bangladesh in Pune being a significant highlight.
