India’s star batter Virat Kohli ended a long wait for a One Day International century, going past the three-figure mark in Chittagong against Bangladesh on Saturday.
It was his 44th ODI ton and 72nd overall in international cricket. With this century he went past Ricky Ponting’s total of 71 international tons and now only has Sachin Tendulkar ahead of him (100 centuries).
Kohli was dismissed for 113 off 91 balls in the 42nd over of the innings.
It marks Kohli’s second international century of 2022, as he earlier ended another long wait, one for his 71st century, when he reached three figures for the first time in T20Is, against Afghanistan at the Asia Cup.
