Virat Kohli equals Sachin Tendulkar’s 49 ODI hundred record

Meanwhile, the former India skipper scored his 49th ODI hundred, leveling Sachin Tendulkar’s record.

“It was a big game. Probably playing the toughest team in the tournament so far, there was motivation for doing well. People made it a bit more special on my birthday. I had a sense of it being something more. When the openers start in that fashion, you’d think it was a belter. Conditions change with the old ball. Message from the management was for me to bat deep, I was happy from that perspective. We knew we were above par when around 315.

“I enjoy playing cricket again which is more important now and that I’m able to contribute for the team all over again. Tendulkar’s tweet is quite special. It’s all too much to take in for now. It’s a huge honour to equal my hero’s record. He’s perfection with the bat. It’s an emotional moment. I know the days I come from, I know the days I have watched him on TV. To receive appreciation from him means a lot to me,” the former India skipper said in the post-match.
