Only Kohli can answer if he can break Tendulkar's record of 100 tons: Kallis

With 66 international hundreds at the age of 30, many believe that Kohli is a serious contender for breaking all the batting records set by Tendulkar.

Former Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar is considered as the ‘God’ of gentlemen’s game for the feats he achieved during his tenure. His colossal tally of 100 international centuries (49 in ODIs and 51 in Tests) is still unbroken and there is just one cricketer who is nearing those numbers  - Virat Kohli.

With 66 international hundreds at the age of 30, many believe that Kohli is a serious contender for breaking all the batting records set by Tendulkar. However, former South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis believes that only the Indian skipper can answer if he can surpass master blaster’s record.

“Kohli I believe can go as far as he wants to. He is a world class player. He is hungry. He works hard. He has proved that over the years. The main thing about him is that he keeps it simple. People enjoy watching him bat,” said Kallis.

So will Kohli break Tendulkar's record, Kallis replied, “Only Kohli can answer that. If he is fit enough and willing enough to go but nothing is out of reach for him.”

India losing the ODI series against Australia won't have much of an impact on the World Cup.

“I don't think Kohli will be under pressure. He has produced the goods time and time again. He is a world class player and the guys follow what he does. He is certainly one of the best in the world,” he said.

 Workload management has been a talked about topic over the last few days but the KKR head coach feels it depend on the individuals.

“All the guys are professionals. They will know when to rest. We have a great support staff, the physios, the trainers who will know how to handle the guys,” said the former Protea cricketer.
