IND vs WI: Where does Virat Kohli stand compared to Sachin Tendulkar and other greats ahead of record 100th ODI at home?

Former India captain Virat Kohli played three games against West Indies at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday The second ODI game in the series, which will mark a historic century. During his illustrious 13-year career, Kohli has participated in 99 ODIs at home and is on the verge of completing the 100-match milestone in India. He will become the 36th cricketer to play 100 ODI matches in the country and the 5th batsman from India, joining the likes of legends Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni on the all-time list.

In 99 ODI games, Kohli amassed 5,002 points in 96 innings, averaging 59.64 with 19 and 25 half-century runs. So where is one of the greats of the modern era among some of the legends to witness ahead of his record 100th home game?

No one has come close to what Kohli has achieved as a running machine in 99 ODIs at home, as he tops the runs with the most runs scored by a batsman. The next best player on the list is Sachin, who has managed to amass 4,231 matches in his 99th ODI in India. Even Australia’s great former captain Rich Ponting scored 3,497 points in his first 99 home games, eighth on the unique list.

Kohli is also the most scored of any batsman after 99 ODIs at home, and he has 19 of those hits, six more than second-placed Sachin.

Breaking his record of 5,002 runs at home, nearly 25% of them – 1,247 runs to be exact – scored 69.27 and 5 centuries in 21 innings against the West Indies. 24% of the total (1197 runs scored) was scored against his favourite rival Australia in 22 innings at 59.95.

Kohli’s series started very much like Kohli’s, leaving only 8-4 after a string of shorter deliveries from Alzarri Joseph. But Kohli will be eager to make the most of the historic moment, scoring the high points he has not been able to score in the format since August 2019.
