Former captain and ex-BCCI president sourav ganguly has voiced his support for virat kohli, who is caught in a new controversy after scoring a century in the match against Sri Lanka. The 3-match ODI series between india and sri lanka is going on briskly. The 2nd match is taking place today after india won the first match. It has been announced that this match will be held at 1.30 pm at the famous Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The indian team is trying to win the series and the Sri Lankan team is trying to equalize. Beyond this match, everyone's attention has turned to Virat Kohli. virat kohli, who made a comeback in 2022, scored a century against bangladesh in the last match of the year. Now he has started the first match of 2023 with a hundred. If kohli scores just 4 more centuries, he will equal sachin tendulkar in the list of highest scorers in ODI cricket (49 centuries).
This has led to debates about whether Sachin will surpass Tendulkar by playing better. Gambhir had talked about this, even if he scores 200 centuries, the goalie cannot become Sachin. He criticized that the norms that existed then were different from what they are now. Sanjay Manjrekar also gave a befitting reply to this. He had said that he has achieved it by playing as the 3rd player instead of opening like Sachin.
Sourav Ganguly has raised his voice in this matter. In that, the difficult question is whether kohli will surpass Sachin kohli and is better than him. virat kohli is a great player. virat kohli has fought and won as an individual whenever the indian team was stuck in many difficult situations. 45 centuries does not come easily.
It is true that a few years did not go well for Virat Kohli. He didn't score enough runs. But he is a special player. Ganguly has given his support saying that there will always be glory for him. It is noteworthy that virat kohli has scored 74 centuries while Sachin has scored 100 centuries in all international competitions.
