Young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player: Sachin Tendulkar

Achieving the rare feat of surpassing your idol in front of him is a distinction not many can claim, yet Virat Kohli accomplished precisely that during the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand on Wednesday. Kohli notched up a 50th ODI century to break Cricket legend Sachin Tendukar’s record at his home Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Tendulkar praised Kohli, expressing his joy that a fellow Indian had surpassed his record for the most one-day international hundreds. He conveyed to Kohli that he “couldn’t be happier” about the accomplishment.
