New Delhi: In 4935 One-Day International matches, only 11 players have scored three or more centuries. Virat Kohli is one of them. On Saturday, the Indian batting maestro can become the only player to score a hat-trick of centuries twice. After garnering massive criticism following back-to-back ducks in his comeback series in Australia, Kohli has responded to his detractors with three successive 50+scores.
The Delhi dasher roared back to form with an unbeaten 72 in the third ODI in Sydney and carried the momentum to the home series against South Africa, scoring back-to-back centuries (52nd and 53rd) in Ranchi and Raipur. With the third match scheduled to be held at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag, the odds are high for Kohli to add yet another feather to his cap.
In red-hot form, Kohli is primed to score a hat-trick of centuries at his favourite Indian ground. Over the years, Kohli has owned the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium with countless memorable knocks.
Every time he walks out to bat in Vizag, there is an air of inevitability to what's gonna happen next. There is a reason why Vizag is Kohli's favourite hunting ground in India. This is the same venue where he has scored the most ODI runs in India. His astounding record in Vizag is the reason why he looks destined to script more ODI history on Saturday.
Kohli has amassed a staggering 587 runs in just seven ODI innings at an unbelievable average of 97.8 at Vizag. Every time Kohli walks out in this stadium, he scores big. His numbers at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium are unmatched and one of the most prolific by an Indian batter at a home venue.
With three centuries and five fifties, he has been ultra-consistent at this venue. With a remarkable conversion rate, he stands the tallest in terms of the ability to build long innings and finish games.
His highest score in Vizag is 157, scored against the West Indies back in 2018.
