West Indies Legend Brian Lara Drops Big 'Cricket Logic'
Virat Kohli had a brilliant cricket World Cup. The batting star of India became the first player in history to score over 700 runs in a single edition of the Cricket World Cup. In 11 matches, Virat Kohli scored 765 runs at an average of 95.62. Virat Kohli also scored three centuries and six half-centuries. Courtesy of those tons, Virat Kohli is now placed only second to Sachin Tendulkar in terms of most international centuries. While Sachin Tendulkar has 100 international tons, Virat Kohli has 80.
Virat Kohli is 35 now and supremely fit, but West Indies great Brian Lara believes that getting to 100 tons will be very difficult for Virat Kohli.
Lara asked, "How old is Kohli now? 35, right? He has 80, but still needs 20. If he scores five centuries every year, he'd need four more years to equal Tendulkar. Kohli will be 39 then. Tough job, very tough job.”
He further added, "I can't say with certainty; no one can. Those sayings are not using cricket logic. 20 centuries seem a long way away. Most cricketers can't score that in their entire career. I won't be adventurous and say Kohli will do it.
"Age doesn't stop for anyone. Kohli will break many more records, but 100
centuries seems the most difficult one."
