Virat Kohli to break the record of most centuries in ODI cricket

Virat looks in great form where he scored two consecutive centuries in this tournament and it seems that there is a lot more to come in the remaining tournament. If Virat continues to play like he played in the last two games he is definitely going to reach that milestone in this World Cup. Virat has the highest number of centuries in international cricket among active players. Last night, Virat played a wonderful innings to win the game against Afghanistan and he looks comfortable while playing his favorite shots. Fans are delighted to watch him bat like that.

Mitchell Starc is one of great bowlers of the modern era, he has 50 ODI world cup wickets in his pocket and many more to come during this World Cup. Currently he has the fifth highest wicket taker in the history of cups but at the end of the world cup he could be the first one too. Glenn McGrath with 71 wickets is the title holder. Starc is just 21 wickets away to level Glenn and with getting one more he will break this record and could snatch the title from McGrath. Starc is still looking for a match to accelerate and when he gets that it wouldn’t be a big deal if he breaks that record.
500 runs in an ODI inning
There are so many records that can be broken in this world cup but to 500 runs in an inning is the most vital and unbelievable record to imagine. The way batters are batting in this world cup this record is not safe, South Africa has already made the highest world cup total and England has reached to 498 last year so it won’t be a wonder to watch these teams making 500 runs during this world cup. Nowadays getting to 400 is as easy as getting 300. If any day a big team decided to go for non stop batting the history can be created. It is sad watching nowadays bowlers being helpless in front of batters but it is cricket and cricket is increasing its standards.
