Indian captain Virat Kohli's journey to an incredible 50 centuries in international cricket began at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata in December 2009.
In eight years since his maiden hundred in top-level cricket, Kohli completed a half century of tons, at the same venue, yesterday (November 20) during the India-Sri lanka 1st Test, which ended in a thrilling draw.
The 29-year-old Kohli is only the eighth batsman in history to have reached the milestone of 50 international hundreds. The leader of the pack is Sachin Tendulkar with 100.
Kohli made his international debut on August 18, 2008, against Sri Lanka, in a One Day International in Dambulla. His Test journey began on June 20, 2011 in Kingston, against West Indies.
After nine years in international cricket, Kohli has become one of the best batsmen. He has already shattered several records.
He is the joint fastest to 50 international tons along with Hashim Amla. Both batsmen took 348 innings to reach the milestone.
So far Kohli has played 61 Tests, 202 ODIs and 55 T20Is. He has 32 hundreds in ODIs and 18 in Tests.
