He immediately set the tone with a fluent off-drive off the very first ball from South Africa\u2019s left-arm seamer. Despite sporadic hiccups at the other end, Kohli constructed his innings with mature shot selection and patience, reaching his century in just <strong>102 balls<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The century not only marked another feather in his cap but also established him as the leading run-machine in modern ODI cricket. His overall ODI tally of centuries now stands at 52 \u2014 the highest by any male cricketer in a single format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breaking_the_Legendary_Record\"><\/span>Breaking the Legendary Record<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before this match, the benchmark for most centuries in a single format of international cricket was held by Sachin Tendulkar. While Tendulkar amassed 51 centuries in Test cricket, Kohli\u2019s 52 in ODIs now puts him atop that list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feat cements Kohli\u2019s place in cricketing history \u2014 he is now the only male player to cross the 50-century mark in a single format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding further weight to the achievement, this was Kohli\u2019s <strong>sixth ODI century against South Africa<\/strong>, giving him the most hundreds by any batter against the Proteas in ODIs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legacy_of_Consistency_and_Excellence\"><\/span>Legacy of Consistency and Excellence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since his ODI debut in 2008, Kohli has remained a pillar of Indian batting across eras. His 52 centuries have come across different conditions \u2014 big tournaments, high-pressure run-chases, and varied opposition \u2014 underscoring his adaptability and enduring class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 52 ODI tons alone \u2014 and a total of <strong>83 international centuries<\/strong> across formats \u2014 Kohli has established himself as arguably the greatest contemporary batsman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, even at the age of 36 (as of the match), his fitness, skill, and mental toughness remain undiminished \u2014 silencing doubts about longevity and showcasing that age is no barrier when accompanied by discipline and drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Benchmark_in_International_Cricket\"><\/span>New Benchmark in International Cricket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this achievement, the record for most centuries in a single international format has been redefined. Kohli\u2019s 52 ODI centuries now represent the new pinnacle \u2014 a mark that many future aspirants will aim for but few may touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importance of this milestone extends beyond numbers: it reflects sustained excellence, hunger for runs, and the ability to perform under pressure \u2014 attributes that define all-time greats. For upcoming players and fans alike, Kohli\u2019s achievement is a reminder of what peak performance, resilience, and consistency can achieve in international sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This milestone matters not just for cricket fans, but for anyone studying current affairs or preparing for general-knowledge sections in competitive exams \u2014 because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It marks a <strong>historic shift in cricket record books<\/strong>. The previous benchmark of centuries set by a legendary player stood for decades; now it\u2019s been overtaken, showing how records evolve with time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It highlights the significance of <strong>consistency and longevity<\/strong> \u2014 two traits relevant beyond sports, resonating with themes like excellence, perseverance, and striving to break barriers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It offers a <strong>notable example for exam-related GK questions<\/strong>, including \u201cwho holds the most ODI hundreds\u201d, or \u201cwhich cricketer recently surpassed Tendulkar\u2019s record\u201d. Given how cricket often appears in GK\/current-affairs topics, this fact becomes directly relevant for students.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It emphasizes that <strong>achievements in popular culture (sports) are part of general awareness<\/strong>; being updated with such milestones reflects a candidate\u2019s well-rounded knowledge, useful not only in interview rounds, but also in essay\/discussion-type questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, this development isn\u2019t just about a player or match \u2014 it becomes part of the larger narrative of records, achievement, and evolving history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Historical_Context\"><\/span>Historical Context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For decades, Sachin Tendulkar was revered as one of the greatest batsmen ever. Among many of his records, one stood out: <strong>51 centuries in Test cricket<\/strong> \u2014 the highest number of centuries in any single format for a long time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over time, as One Day Internationals gained prominence and playing conditions changed, records began shifting. Players like Kohli \u2014 representing a newer generation \u2014 combined classical technique with modern fitness and mindset, seizing more opportunities and playing more matches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over the years, Kohli had gradually chipped away at the record. In November 2023, during the semi-final of the Cricket World Cup, he notched up his 50th ODI century \u2014 itself a historic first in men\u2019s cricket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since then, his consistent run-scoring and commitment to ODI cricket set him up for this 2025 landmark. The 52nd century not only surpassed Tendulkar\u2019s long-standing mark but did so convincingly, with a composed century under pressure at home in Ranchi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, the record isn\u2019t a sudden blip \u2014 but the culmination of years of sustained performance, reflecting evolution in the sport, player fitness, and modern cricketing demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways_from_This_News\"><\/span>Key Takeaways from This News<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>S.No<\/th><th>Key Takeaway<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.<\/td><td>Virat Kohli scored his 52nd ODI century on 30 November 2025 at Ranchi against South Africa. <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2.<\/td><td>With 52 ODI hundreds, Kohli now holds the record for the most centuries by any male cricketer in a single format. <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3.<\/td><td>The century made him the only male cricketer in history to cross the 50-century mark in one format. <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4.<\/td><td>This was Kohli\u2019s sixth ODI century against South Africa \u2014 the most by any batter versus that team. <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5.<\/td><td>His career total of international centuries now stands at 83, underscoring his consistency and dominance across formats.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Virat Kohli 52nd ODI Century<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.
