Virat Kohli Cardiff ODI Record: Virat Kohli created history on the soil of England, broke Sachin Tendulkar’s big record and became the number-1 Indian batsman.
Veteran Indian batsman Virat Kohli has added another golden page to the book of records in international cricket. During the ODI match played in Cardiff, Virat scored another brilliant half-century. On the basis of this inning, he has achieved the historic feat of scoring fifty plus (50+) for the maximum number of times on English soil. In this matter, King Kohli has left behind the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Indian cricket, and has become the most successful Indian batsman in England. Virat Kohli, the top-4 Indian batsman who scored the most 50+ scores in England, has now scored 33 fifty plus scores on English soil after playing a strong inning of 65 runs in the Cardiff ODI. He achieved this amazing feat in 111 innings. Let’s see the list of Indian players who have scored the highest fifty plus score in England: Batsman’s Name Total Innings Fifty Plus Score (50+ Scores) Virat Kohli 111 33 Sachin Tendulkar 90 32 Rahul Dravid 67 26 MS Dhoni 93 24 Virat Kohli’s influence in SENA countries also; Virat Kohli has now registered a total of 232 fifty plus scores in international cricket after leaving Sachin behind. He is just 32 steps away from all-time great Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of 264 fifty plus scores. However, Virat has beaten another big record. He has become the number-1 player in Asia to score the highest fifty plus score on the soil of SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia). Virat has done this feat 76 times in SENA countries, whereas Sachin Tendulkar had done this feat 74 times in his career. ‘King Kohli’ is in amazing form; If we talk about Virat Kohli’s recent ODI form since the missed century in Cardiff, he is currently going through one of the best phases of his career. Kohli has scored more than fifty 8 times in his last 9 ODI innings, which also includes 3 brilliant centuries. However, he was on his way to a big century in the Cardiff ODI, but got bowled by a magical ball from Jofra Archer. The interesting thing was that just one ball before getting out, Virat got a big lease of life due to a missed catch behind the wicket, but he could not take advantage of it and lost his wicket after scoring 65 runs on the very next ball. Despite this, his innings has set a new record in the history of Indian cricket.
