Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has expressed optimism about Virat Kohli's potential to reach the milestone of 100 international centuries. This comes after Kohli achieved his 50th ODI hundred in a remarkable fashion during India's World Cup 2023 semi-final victory over New Zealand in Mumbai on November 15. Shastri emphasized that counting Kohli out from achieving this feat would be unwise, especially considering his recent performance that surpassed Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most ODI hundreds. Kohli currently holds a total of 80 international centuries, trailing Tendulkar by 20, and India is set to play the World Cup final in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
