In a groundbreaking feat, Virat Kohli etched his name in history by notching up an unprecedented 50 ODI centuries, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s previous record of 49 hundreds.
Kohli not only eclipsed Tendulkar’s enduring milestone of the most runs in a single edition of the ODI World Cup but also set a new benchmark by amassing 711 runs in 10 matches during the 2023 ODI World Cup, outshining Sachin’s 673 runs in 2003.
Virat stands alone as the first batter to achieve the remarkable feat of scoring 700+ runs in a solitary edition of the ODI World Cup.
His third century in the ODI World Cup 2023, secured during the first semi-final, adds to an impressive tally of eight 50+ scores in this year’s tournament, an unparalleled achievement.
Kohli’s ascent to the third spot in the all-time ODI run-scorer list, surpassing Ricky Ponting, is now sealed with 13,794 runs in 291 ODIs, while Ponting amassed 13,704 runs in 375 ODIs.
The century against New Zealand on Wednesday marked Virat’s sixth ODI hundred in 2023, mirroring his prolific performances in 2017 and 2018, where he also recorded six ODI centuries each.
Virat joins an elite group, including Mark Waugh, Sourav Ganguly, Matthew Hayden, Kumar Sangakkara, Rohit Sharma, David Warner, Quinton de Kock, and Rachin Ravindra, as the ninth batter to claim at least three centuries in a single edition of the ODI World Cup.
In a historic achievement, Mohammed Shami etches his name in the annals of Indian cricket as the first bowler from the country to claim 50 wickets in the ODI World Cup.
Shami’s rapid ascent to this milestone makes him the fastest bowler in the history of the ODI World Cup to reach 50 wickets, further solidifying his place in cricket history.
His spectacular performance on Wednesday, yielding career-best figures of 7 wickets for 57 runs in 9.5 overs across Test, ODI, and T20I formats, underscore Shami’s prowess on the field.
Shami’s exceptional figures of 7/57 not only mark the best bowling display by an Indian in ODIs but also in the ODI World Cup.
With four five-wicket hauls in ODI World history, Shami stands as the first bowler to achieve this remarkable feat, surpassing Australia’s Mitchell Starc, who holds three five-wicket hauls.
Following his seven-wicket haul against New Zealand, Shami’s tally in the ODI World Cup 2023 now stands at an impressive 23 wickets, the highest by any bowler in the tournament so far.
Shami’s feat eclipses Zaheer Khan’s record of 21 wickets for India in a single edition of the ODI World Cup.
Adding to his accolades, Shami becomes the first Indian to secure a five-wicket haul in ICC knockouts.
India’s cricketing prowess reaches new heights as the team achieves a historic milestone of winning 10 consecutive ODIs, a feat never before accomplished in the annals of the sport.
Rohit Sharma, at the helm, attains the distinction of being the first Indian captain in ODI World Cup history to claim victory in 10 matches within a single edition.
Joining the ranks of Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly, and MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma solidifies his standing as the fourth Indian skipper to guide the team to the final of the ODI World Cup.
