IND vs ENG: Virat Kohli On The Verge Of Equalling Massive Ricky Ponting Record

Indian batter Virat Kohli is on the verge of equalling the massive record of Ricky Ponting in International cricket. The kingpin of the Indian batting lineup is just a hundred away from joining Australia’s great in the most number of centuries in a winning cause. 

Virat Kohli currently has 54 centuries in winning cause to go with 83 half-centuries. The batter has looked in terrific touch in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 and is currently the second-leading run-getter in the tournament with over 350 runs to his name. 

Virat Kohli is batting like a dream and is one of the main reasons behind India winning 5 out of their 5 games in the tournament. The batter has smashed three half-centuries and one century in the tournament so far. 

With the way Virat Kohli is batting, it won’t be a surprise if he ends up breaking the record of Ricky Ponting in the ongoing tournament. The Indian batter is also on the brink of equalling Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most centuries in the ODIs. 

Virat Kohli currently has 48 tons. He had a great chance to equal that during India’s game against New Zealand. The batter scored 95 runs but unfortunately got out as he tried to go for the glory shot. He would be hoping to achieve it in the next game. 

India will face England next on Sunday (29th October) in Lucknow. They are currently at the top of the table with 5 wins under their belt. Going into the game, Virat Kohli will be vital for his team. He would be hoping to continue his golden touch and win his team another game.
