Sachin Tendulkar reacts to Virat Kohli's 50th ODI century; Here's what he said
Mumbai: Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar warmly congratulated Virat Kohli as the Indian batting maestro achieved a historic milestone by scoring his 50th ODI century during the ICC ODI World Cup Semifinal against New Zealand at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.
Kohli's exceptional feat broke Tendulkar's previous record, making him the first batsman in the world to achieve this remarkable milestone.
Kohli achieved his 50th century in his 291st match and 279th inning, surpassing Tendulkar's record in terms of both matches and innings. Tendulkar, who scored 49 centuries in 462 innings, expressed his joy and admiration for Kohli's achievement in a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter).
In his message, Tendulkar recalled his first meeting with Kohli in the Indian dressing room, where the young cricketer was playfully pranked by teammates into touching Tendulkar's feet. Tendulkar fondly remembered the laughter shared that day and highlighted how Kohli had touched his heart with his passion and skill.
Tendulkar expressed immense happiness that an Indian cricketer had broken his record and conveyed his joy that Kohli achieved this milestone on a grand stage—the World Cup Semifinal—and at Tendulkar's home ground.
"I couldn’t be happier that a young boy has grown into a 'Virat' player," Tendulkar remarked, celebrating the growth and success of the Indian cricketing sensation.
The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn’t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player.
