Virat Kohli yet again proved his credentials while chasing as the Indian skipper scored an unbeaten 111 against the Windies in the final ODI to clinch the series 3-1. With this hundred, Kohli now has 28 ODI centuries out of which he has scored 18 while chasing.

By virtue of this ton, he broke the record of most ODI centuries by a batsman while chasing which was earlier held by Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar who scored 17 hundreds in run chases. Kohli and Sachin stand long way ahead of the players who have scored centuries in ODI run chases as the 3rd best in the list is 6 centuries behind Sachin’s tally of 17.

In addition to 18 hundreds, Kohli has 28 fifties as well while chasing in ODI cricket. This puts Kohli at the 3rd place along with Sourav Ganguly in the list of most fifty-plus scores while chasing in ODIs. He might need a handy couple of years to go past Sachin who sits at the top of the list with 69 fifty-plus scores.
