[Saba Sports News] At Eden Gardens, the 37th ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match unfolds as India faces South Africa. It’s Virat Kohli’s 35th birthday, and he’s on the verge of matching Sachin Tendulkar’s remarkable record if he scores a century today, reaching 49 ODI centuries, equaling Sachin’s achievement.
The atmosphere at Eden Gardens is electric, with young fans surrounding Virat to offer their birthday wishes and share moments with the cricketing icon.
Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh expressed confidence in Kohli achieving his 49th century on a bigger stage, not being disheartened by missing it against Sri Lanka in the ICC World Cup 2023.
During a post-match show, Rahul Dravid stated that Kohli is focused on contributing to India’s World Cup performance and not overly concerned about personal milestones. In a recent World Cup 2023 game against Sri Lanka, Kohli missed the opportunity to equal Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI century record by just 12 runs, getting dismissed for 88.
