Virat Kohli becomes first player with 50 ODI centuries
Mumbai: Indian batter Virat Kohli on Wednesday became the first batsman on the planet to score 50 ODI century, breaking the record of fellow Indian Sachin Tendulkar.
Kohli scored his 50th ton in the ICC ODI World Cup Semifinal against New Zealand at the Wankhede stadium here. He scored his 50th ton in his 291th match and 279th inning, significantly better than Sachin Tendulkar in terms of matches and innings who scored 49 centuries in 462 innings.
Kohli currently is nearing 14000 ODI runs and bats at a brilliant average of nearly 59 in the ODI format. This is also Kohli’s 80th century, nearing another milestone of most international centuries, currently held by Sachin Tendulkar who has 100 international centuries.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
