Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has backed Virat Kohli to score 100 hundreds and break the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record, saying he can score at least 50 more centuries. Kohli scored his 75th international hundred in India’s first innings against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
“It’s certainly possible. I think he can score more than that (100 centuries). Two things favor Virat here: his age, and his fitness. He’s 34 but his fitness is that of a 24-year-old cricketer. He’s way ahead in that aspect,” said Harbhajan.
“He has already scored 75 centuries, he can score at least 50 more. He knows his game and he plays all formats. You might think I’m going overboard with this, but it is certainly possible. If anyone can do it, it’s Virat Kohli. Rest all are far behind him,” Harbhajan added.
“He knew he had to work on his fitness because his batting abilities are god-gifted. I don’t think he will stop from here. There are no technical faults, and even if they are, he works on them and rectifies them. Since his return (after break), he has already scored five centuries. This is pretty much a comeback for him,” said Harbhajan.
