Indian cricket player Virat Kohli achieved a huge milestone last week during India’s 44-run ODI series win over West Indies at home.
The former captain has joined the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Mahindra Singh Dhoni in an elite list.
Kohli’s latest milestone is that of playing 100 ODI matches at home. The former India captain reached the 100th ODI match while representing the team against West Indies on Wednesday last week in their second ODI.
Kohli was dismissed for 18 runs and India posted 237/9 before bowling West Indies out for 193 runs to take 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. Kohli became only the fifth Indian cricketer to play 100 ODI matches at home. The list is led by the legendary Tendulkar, who played 164 ODI matches on Indian soil.
Mahindra Singh Dhoni is second on the list, having played in 127 ODIs in India. He is followed by Mohammad Azharuddin, who played 113 ODIs in India and Yuvraj Singh, who played 108.
