Virat Kohli recently equaled Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 One Day International (ODI) centuries. While Kohli achieved this milestone in a relatively shorter period of time, there are several interesting comparisons to be made between their careers and achievements:
Time to Reach 49 Centuries: Kohli reached 49 centuries in 15 years, whereas Tendulkar's ODI career spanned 22 years. Kohli achieved this milestone more quickly.
Century Scoring Frequency: Kohli has scored a century every 5.65 innings on average, while Tendulkar had one every 9.22 innings. Despite this difference, when compared to the averages in their respective eras, their century-scoring frequency is similar.
Total Centuries: Tendulkar scored 237 centuries in 463 ODIs, which is one century every 1.96 matches. Kohli, on the other hand, scored 229 centuries in 289 games, which translates to 1.26 matches per hundred. In matches where Tendulkar played, there were 131 centuries from Indian batters, while Kohli contributed 137 centuries.
Centuries in Chases: Kohli has 27 centuries in ODI chases, with 23 coming in wins. Tendulkar had 17 centuries while chasing, with only three ending in defeats. Tendulkar leads in scoring centuries while batting first, with 32 against Kohli's 22.
Win Percentage Impact: The increase in India's win percentage over the last 15 years has influenced the results of their centuries. India won 50.54% of matches with Tendulkar and 61.59% with Kohli in the XI. As a result, Tendulkar had 33 centuries in wins, while Kohli has 41.
Centuries in Different Venues: Tendulkar scored 20 centuries at home, while Kohli has 23 out of 49 in India. However, Kohli scored 21 centuries in away games, while Tendulkar had only 12. This is partly due to the decrease in the number of ODI tournaments at neutral venues during Kohli's career.
Bilateral Series vs. Multilateral Tournaments: Kohli has played about two-thirds of his ODI matches in bilateral series, while Tendulkar played about 40% in such series. Kohli has scored ODI centuries in nine different countries, while Tendulkar played ODIs in 16 countries and scored hundreds in 12. The number of venues where they scored centuries is similar, with Tendulkar achieving this feat at 34 grounds and Kohli at 32 venues.
Centuries Against Different Teams: Tendulkar had centuries against 11 different teams, with 44 coming against nine full-member nations and five against associate teams. Kohli has never scored a century against an associate nation, as he had limited opportunities to play them. All of Kohli's 49 centuries are against the top nine full-member countries.
Number of Centuries Against Specific Teams: Tendulkar had five or more centuries against six teams, with nine centuries against Australia being the most. Kohli scored the most ODI centuries (10) against Sri Lanka and has five or more centuries against six different countries.
Performance When Scoring Centuries: Tendulkar scored 32 centuries when he was the lone centurion in the game, while Kohli has 22 such instances. There were nine occasions when an Indian batter scored a century in the same match as Tendulkar, and Kohli had 13 such instances. Tendulkar scored a century when no other Indian batter managed a fifty nine times, with five of them in completed innings. Kohli did this on eight occasions, with six in completed innings. The two batsmen are level with six centuries each when India was bowled out in an inning.
These comparisons highlight the remarkable achievements of both Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar in the world of ODI cricket, with Kohli's career characterized by rapid century-scoring and a significant impact on India's win percentage.
