CWC 2023: WATCH- Viral video of Sachin Tendulkar in 2012 predicting that Virat Kohli can break his record

Kohli has 2 more ODIs, probably 3 in CWC 2023 to break Tendulkar's record for most centuries.

Virat Kohli equaled legend Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI centuries in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023, in a match against South Africa. Kohli will now have two more chances, probably three in CWC 2023 to break this record and register his 50^th ton in the format.

Kohli has been in wonderful form in this CWC 2023 with 543 runs in 8 innings at an average of 108 with 2 centuries and 4 fifties to his name.  When Kohli completed his 49^th ODI ton, Sachin Tendulkar had taken to social media to congratulate Virat on the achievement.

And an old video went viral on social media in which the legend had predicted in 2012, that one of the batters might be Kohli to break his record.

In the video Bollywood star Salman Khan could be heard asking Tendulkar if any player would be able to break his records.

"Kya lagta hai aapko? Seedhe seedhe bolo nahi tod payega (what do you think of this, ok say that no one can do it)," Salman said.

In response, Tendulkar said: "I think those who can, are sitting in this room only. I can see those youngsters. Virat and Rohit are the ones. As long as an Indian breaks it, I don't mind.”

Tendulkar had also named Rohit Sharma, but the Indian captain is not close to any record held by the great one. However, Rohit has been successful in creating his records which will be difficult to break in the future.
