Virat Kohli Aims to Equal Babar Azam's Record in 3rd IND-SA ODI

Virat Kohli is presented with an opportunity to match Babar Azam's impressive record of scoring three consecutive ODI centuries multiple times. This chance arises in the third ODI against South Africa, scheduled to take place in Visakhapatnam. Kohli, who has already demonstrated exceptional form with centuries in the previous two matches held in Ranchi and Raipur, is looking to continue his dominant performance.

In Visakhapatnam, Kohli has a notable record, having scored three centuries in seven ODIs. Should he achieve another century in this game, he will join Babar Azam as the only other player to accomplish the feat of scoring three back-to-back ODI centuries on more than one occasion.

While a total of 12 batters have managed to score three centuries in three ODIs, Kumar Sangakkara holds the ultimate record, having scored four consecutive centuries in the 2015 ODI World Cup. Kohli also has the chance to surpass the record for the most 50+ scores against South Africa. Currently, he, Ricky Ponting, and Kumar Sangakkara each have 15 such scores.

Babar Azam has achieved this feat twice in his career.
