On October 21, at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati against West Indies in the first ODI game of the five-match series, Kohli swirled a fiery innings to not just revive India after the early loss, he also managed to add another feather to his already crammed hat. Playing an aggressive innings in reply to Windies’ massive target of 323 runs, Kohli notched up his 36th ODI century off 71 deliveries. And en route he broke a plethora of records.
60th century in international cricket across the three formats, although he hasn’t yet scored a ton in T20I format. Leaving aside his 36 centuries in ODIs, the remaining 34 are in Tests. He is the fastest to 60 international hundreds breaking Sachin’s record.
36th century in the 50-over format of the game and still, only stands behind Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar in terms of most ODI centuries ever. The Indian batting legend and Kohli’s idol has 49 such knocks to his name.
22nd when chasing in ODIs by the chase-master Kohli and it is the most in the format with Sachin standing second at 17.
