Virat Kohli became the first player to reach 50 hundred in One Day Internationals. He broke the long-standing record of 49 hundred held by Sachin Tendulkar. After Tendulkar overtook Desmond Haynes’ previous record of 17 hundred in September 1998, he became the player with the most ODI hundreds.

Tendulkar in 2003 and Shakib Al Hasan in 2019 both had seven 50+ scores in a single World Cup, while Kohli’s eight in 2023 is also the most by a player in the tournament.
