He hit one off 61 balls later in the series in Nagpur which sits third in the list for fastest ODI hundreds for India with Virender Sehwag's 60-ball hundred against New Zealand in Hamilton in 2009 in the second place. Of his 50 hundreds, he reached his hundred in exactly 100 balls or fewer on 25 instances.
u 119 balls The most Kohli has taken to reach his century, both against South Africa - in Cape Town in 2018 and in Kolkata in World Cup 23rd, which was his 49th. In Cape Town, Kohli hit exactly 100 non-boundary runs.
u 21 Hundreds for Kohli while leading India in ODIs, in just 91 innings - one fewer than Ponting's 22 in 271 innings. Across these 91 innings, Kohli averaged 72.65 - the highest for any skipper with at least 1000 runs in the format.
u 4 Matches in which both Kohli and Rohit hit centuries - the joint second most for a pair in the format alongside Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly. The only pair with more is five by De Villiers and Amla.
u 25 innings The longest gap between two centuries for Kohli in ODIs - between his 43rd (114* vs WI, Port of Spain, 14 Aug 2019) and 44th (113 vs Ban, Chattogram, 10 Dec 2022). He went through with a century in both 2020 and 2021, the only years for him without a century after his debut year (2008) in the format.
u 105 against New Zealand in Guwahati in November 2010 - his fourth hundred in ODIs and the only one he scored at home in a day game.
