Virat Kohli recently made a big record in cricket. He became the first player to score 50 centuries in one-day internationals (ODIs). He did this during a very important match - the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. This was a special moment for him.
Kohli reached this milestone in an exciting way. He hit a shot off Lockie Ferguson, got two runs, and reached his 100th run. He was very happy and celebrated this achievement. He took off his helmet, raised his hands, and bowed to the crowd. In the stands, there were two very special people watching - his wife Anushka Sharma and the famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin was the previous record holder, and Kohli just broke his record.
During a break in the game, Kohli talked about this moment. He said it was like a dream. He felt very happy to reach this big goal in front of his wife and his hero, Sachin Tendulkar. The match was at the Wankhede Stadium, a famous place for cricket. He felt this was the perfect picture of his achievement.
Kohli reached 50 hundreds faster than Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin got his 49th hundred in 451 innings, but Kohli matched this in just 277 innings. Then, he broke the record in his 279th innings.
Kohli said he couldn't believe it. He felt very lucky and happy. He talked about how Sachin Tendulkar congratulated him. He said he never thought he would reach this point in his career. Kohli also mentioned how important it was for him to play well in big games, to help his team. He was glad that everything worked out well in the match.
