Virat Kohli IPL Centuries | List of Virat Kohli international & IPL centuries

He can rightfully stake claim to being the greatest batsman of modern-day cricket. Virat Kohli is a batting colossus, and in his international career that has lasted over a decade, the Indian skipper has made the life of bowlers across the world miserable.

The batting legend has scored more than 26000 runs in international cricket thus far and is only the second Indian batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to score over 25000 runs in the international arena. Kohli also stands second in the list of batsmen with the most centuries in international cricket, with 80 tons to his name. With a century against Bangladesh in the third ODI, he went past Ricky Ponting’s tally of 71 centuries and occupied second place. His latest century, 80th one, also came against New Zealand in the semi-final of the ODI World Cup 2023 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

It is to be noted that Kohli has the most number of international centuries among active players across the world. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar occupies the top spot, with a mammoth 100 international hundreds to his name. While Virat Kohli has scored 50 hundreds in the ODI format, he has scored 29 centuries in Test cricket and a lone ton in the shortest form of the game.

The 34-year-old has played some stunning knocks in the ODI format. His blazing 133* off just 86 balls at Hobart against Sri Lanka in 2012 helped India chase down a challenging target of 321 in just 36.4 overs. Another gem from the willow of the master in ODI cricket is the 183 that he scored against rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup in the year 2012.

Coming in with the scoreboard reading 0/1, Virat Kohli launched a murderous assault on the opposition, scoring a breathtaking 148-ball 183, and helped India to chase a mammoth target of 330 with 13 balls to spare. 

Virat Kohli has played several match-winning knocks in Tests 

In the Test arena too, Virat Kohli has set the stage on fire. The batting behemoth has scored 7 double centuries, the most by an Indian willow wielder in Tests. Out of the many ravishing knocks from Kohli in the whites, some of them stand out for the class and authority that he exhibited out in the middle. 

The 254* that he plundered against South Africa in the year 2019 is one that will rank as one of the most eye-catching knocks played by an Indian batsman in Test matches at home. The Delhi-born batting colossus faced 336 deliveries, and scored an unbeaten 254 to allow India to pile up a total of 601 runs on the board, and helped his side to trounce the Proteas by an innings and 137 runs. 

Also, another Virat Kohli special that will stay in our memories is the 235 that he scored at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai against England in 2016. Coming in with the scorecard reading 146/2, Kohli took on the England bowling attack consisting of James Anderson, Ben Stokes and Adil Rashid to score a magical double ton. His exploits with the willow allowed India to thrash the England side by an innings and 36 runs.
