Virat Kohli is 15 international centuries away from becoming the first player to reach 101 hundreds. With his ODI totals now seen as the remaining clear pathway, recent reporting frames the upcoming ODI schedule as the main opportunity for Kohli to close the gap to Sachin Tendulkar’s record before the 2027 World Cup.
Both outlets note that India’s confirmed bilateral ODI commitments before the World Cup number 11, with additional chances potentially coming through tournaments. The Asia Cup is cited as another venue where Kohli could add centuries. Separately, coverage points to the possibility of a South Africa tour involving up to six matches in the next ICC Future Tours Programme, which would add more ODI matches for preparation and for the record chase. Across the articles, the overall assessment is that while Kohli’s remaining ODI window is likely to be central, reaching 101 international centuries remains a difficult target given the number of centuries required.
