Virat Kohli to reach 2nd spot in the most number of centuries – Former Indian captain Virat Kohli is currently in the 3rd spot in the list of most centuries scored by an individual. Standing tall at the top of the list is Sachin Tendulkar with 100 tons, followed by Ricky Ponting at 71 and Virat breathing closely on Ponting’s neck at 70.

Chahal’s tally is currently stuck at 97 wickets. If he can pick 3 wickets in the upcoming series, then he will surely add a new feather in his cap.
