List Of International Cricket Centuries By Virat Kohli

There are some who are destined to become greats of the game. Or so we are told. Nothing could be further from this truth. Cricket, much like real life, is no mythology. It is reality. On the 22 yards. In flesh and blood! It’s precisely something that the so-called ‘expert opinion givers’ who function from the cosy comfort of the sofa or the salubrious cabin cannot (and will not) understand. Lara wasn’t made great in the limited space his residence in Port of Spain had where ten other siblings were raised and with much care and affection by his late parents Bunty and Pearl. The Prince used a first cricket bat shaped out of a coconut tree branch and practiced and practiced and then came the flair and style that can’t even be taught in textbooks, let alone be copied. Tendulkar wasn’t ‘born to greatness’ in the humble background that his great brother, mother and father raised him- and nurtured him- at in Mumbai. He had to sweat it out for countless hours and under the wise guidance of Shri Ramakant Achrekar at the Shivaji Park and who knows, where all the little master sculpted his genius at. Think backdoor cricket games and pitches on which countless played that couldn’t even progress beyond the Oval Maidan. Likewise, Yuvraj Singh and Chris Gayle didn’t become champions inside the confines of the place called house or home. On the contrary, one was pushed to excel by a gentleman who many would fear facing, let alone work affectionately with and the later, grew up amid very modest resources wherein the surroundings were beautiful but not so much about the comfort that was inside the house. And yet, these men persisted has have countless before and since them. As they must. And that must continue as well, shouldn’t it, because inheritance is the folly of men and true gifts can be nurtured. Yes, you can be talented and Virat Kohli is a prime example of talent; but it takes countless man hours to rectify mistakes, cleanse ones errors, diminish the scope for error and then comes cultivating the best that one can from what one has. Right?

The great batter has scored 83 international centuries in all and that too, in a dominant and amazing fashion that pleases the fan endlessly, entertains those who often seek entertainment in sport when, and this isn’t to sound preachy, space of excellence (so that the same could be passed on and learnt from). The Virat Kohli you see today, with endless ‘sums of money’, countless as ‘bank balance’, the lad with muscular tattooed arms isn’t a result of a ChatGPT prompts that says- show me a successful, pinup idol; he’s a result of craving for excellence, and doing that consistently so. And there you are. Isn’t it?

Anyways, the following are Virat Kohli’s ODI Centuries list, which will be followed by the Test centuries list

That being said, Virat Kohli has hit a solitary T20I century, which came against Afghanistan in the T20I World Cup in 2022, in which the dashing and trailblazing right hander scored an unbeaten 122.
