List of international cricket centuries by Virat Kohli

Indian Cricketer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Virat Kohli is an Indian cricketer and a former captain of the Indian national cricket team. A right-handed top-order batsman, he has made 85 centuries in international cricket—30 in Test cricket, 54 in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 1 in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[a]

Virat Kohli has scored 85 centuries in international cricket.

Kohli made his debut against Sri Lanka in August 2008,[2] and scored his first century the following year when he made 107 against the same team at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. His 86-ball 133 not out against Sri Lanka in February 2012 led India to the second highest run-chase by any team in Australia.[b][4][5] Former Australian cricketer Dean Jones described the innings as "One of the greatest ODI knocks of all time!".[6] Kohli's highest score of 183 came against Pakistan during the 2012 Asia Cup; India successfully chased a target of 330 set by Pakistan and Kohli was adjudged man of the match. Following that, he made his first century as a captain while playing against the West Indies in the 2013 Triangular Series.[7] In the bilateral series against Australia in October 2013, Kohli made two centuries in successful run-chases. The first of the two, 100 not out, was scored off 52 balls and remains the fastest ODI century by an Indian.[8] The next century, which was scored off 61 balls, remains the third-fastest by an Indian as of September 2019.[9] In November 2023, he went past Sachin Tendulkar's record for most ODI centuries when he made his 50th century in the format; he scored 117 against New Zealand in the 2023 Cricket World Cup semi-final.[10][11][12]

Kohli made his Test debut against the West Indies in 2011 and scored his first century in the format during the Australian tour in January 2012.[2] In the first Test of the 2014–15 Border–Gavaskar Trophy, he became the fourth Indian player to score centuries in both innings of a Test match after making 115 and 141.[c][14] He was appointed as the captain of the Test team during the series and became the first player to score centuries in each of his first three Test innings as captain. In 2016, Kohli became the fifth player to score three or more double centuries in a calendar year.[d] The following year, he repeated the feat and also became the first batsman to score four double centuries in consecutive Test series.[15][16] His seven double centuries is the joint fourth-most by a player.[e] In 2017, he became the first captain to score eleven centuries in a calendar year.[18] Following year, 2018 he repeated this feat with eleven centuries, second-most in a calendar year to Tendulkar.[19] In 2019, Kohli scored seven centuries which included five ODI-centuries. Moreover, he scored his highest score in Test-cricket against South Africa. In December 2022, Kohli scored a hundred against Bangladesh in the third ODI to surpass Ricky Ponting's total of 71 centuries in international cricket.[20]

Kohli scored his only T20I hundred against Afghanistan at the 2022 Asia Cup.[f] The following year, he scored 186 against Australia in the first innings of the fourth Test.[g] He would score another century in the third innings of the first Test against Australia in November 2024; this would turn out to be his last Test century due to his retirement from the format in May 2025.[24]
