Half the job done for Virat Kohli

While, former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting achieved it in 420 innings.

Virat is the only second Indian cricketer to achieve this mark.

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar took 376 innings to reach the 50 international hundreds.

Even, South Africa’s run-machine Hashim Amla took 348 innings to reach 50 international hundreds.

It is also worth to mention that his hundred came on the fifth day of the test match and that too in just 119 deliveries.

Interestingly, Virat scored an unbeaten hundred (104) in the second innings after registering a duck in the first innings.

The swashbuckling stalwart took 348 innings to achieve this glorious feat.

This is Virat’s 18th hundred in the longest format, while he has 32 tons in the 50-over format of the game.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli, on Monday, added another feather to his hat.

The 29-year-old became the joint quickest in the cricket history to smash 50 international hundreds.
