The Indian superstar batter Virat Kohli is regarded as one of the greatest batters in the history of the game. He is arguably the best batter in modern cricket, particularly in the white-ball format.
Kohli has so far scored 85 international centuries in his international career, second only to India's Sachin Tendulkar, who has 100 centuries. He also broke Tendulkar's record of 49 centuries in the ODI format earlier and has since then extended it to 54 ODI hundreds.
