    It's Virat Kohli's consistency more than anything. There's great players out there but they have blips in their careers. I think Virat's probably had one stage and that's it.

  2. Ind 314-1published at 43 overs

    He's got the most ODI centuries now, and overtaking Tendulkar is obviously a remarkable achievement, but Kohli's World Cup numbers are absolutely staggering.

    So far, 10 innings, 694 runs, average of 115.

    Silly.

    Kohli 106, Shreyas 72

    Over to you, Shreyas.

    He launches a flat six from outside off stump and gives Virat Kohli a cheeky smile as they meet in the middle for a fist bump.

    Kane Williamson has just gone up to Virat Kohli in the heat of the battle to say some words on the achievement.

    Virat Kohli is the greatest batter in ODI cricket there has ever been. Now he's got the afterburners on to get India to 400.

  6. Ind 303-1published at 42 overs

    Hundred ticked off, and now he's ready to explode.

    He launches the last ball of the over for four, before taking handshakes and congratulations from the New Zealand players.

    It's absolutely something to behold. Not just witnessing it but to look at the stats. It's like it was written in the stars. An incredible moment.

    It's a remarkable achievement and the crowd have gone berserk. It's felt like destiny!

  9. 100 runs

    100 for Virat Kohlipublished at 41.4 overs

    Ind 297-1

    ODI century number 50 for one of the greatest.

    He pushes for two, and the crowd erupts.

    He is on his knees, soaks in the occasion, and that is quite something. On the biggest stage, he surpasses Sachin Tendulkar, and India march towards what has felt like an inevitable World Cup final from the very beginning.

  10. Ind 294-1published at 41.3 overs

    More singles.

    Back on strike, 98 to his name...

    Shreyas Iyer has looked in superb touch. It's easy to get loss among the greats of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. He has to put his name in lights every time he bats to show he justifies that number four spot.

  12. Ind 293-1published at 41.1 overs

    Shreyas Iyer whacks one down the ground for a single. Kohli is still hobbling a bit but I don't think there are any twos to be run until he scores three more runs.

  13. Ind 292-1published at 41 overs

    Just five singles off Rachin Ravindra's latest. It's just bubbling for a huge finish.

  14. Not outpublished at 40.5 overs

    Nothing.

    New Zealand have no reviews left.

    Polite enquiry from Rachin Ravindra and Tom Latham.

    If this is out, this is going to be one of the most low-key referrals in this tournament.

  16. New Zealand reviewpublished at 40.5 overs

    Ind 291-1

    No, it's not Kohli.

    A very understated review for caught behind on Shreyas Iyer. There was barely an appeal, so I'm not sure where this has come from.

  17. Ind 290-1published at 40.3 overs

    On to 96. Happy to do it in singles.

    Imagine falling short of the century after all this hype. Just imagine...

    Shreyas Iyer has been as good as anyone today, batting absolutely beautifully.

  19. Postpublished at 11:31 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2023

    I guess the narrative is all about Kohli, somewhat inevitably. But it's Shreyas Iyer who's played the most entertaining innings so far.

    You just sense for the first time that things might be getting to Virat Kohli.
