How many matches did Virat Kohli took to reach 74 centuries?
In 486 matches, Virat Kohli brought up his 74 centuries. While Sachin Tendulkar has played 664 matches and has smashed 100 tons.
Most International Centuries List – The longevity factor
One factor that Kohli has with him is age and fitness. Virat will require an additional 5-6 years to reach 100 hundred in international cricket if the entire record from the age factor is to be taken into consideration.
Virat is currently 34 years, whereas Sachin played his final game at the age of 40 years and 206 days. Virat can certainly play till he is 40 years old, based on his current level of fitness, but it will also rely on his personal motivations for retiring from cricket.
| Sachin Tendulkar | Virat Kohli | |
| Debut age | 16 Years 205 days |
19 Years 287 days
|
| Retirement age | 40 Years 206 days |
Current age – 34 Years 36 days

The T20 Factor and Opportunities Virat Kohli have
While comparing the century scored in various innings, it’s vital to keep in mind the T20I format. In Twenty20 Internationals, it is incredibly challenging to score a century, and Virat is no exception. More crucially, too many T20Is are played these days, especially during the T20 World Cup years. This makes it difficult for Virat to increase the number of hundreds he has scored.
It is to be noted that Virat will have ample opportunities to score hundreds given that there is an ODI World Cup in 2023. So in the build-up to that prestigious tournament, India will play many ODI matches, which is a favorite format of Kohli.
The 2021 and 2022 were the T20 World Cup years, that’s why King Kohli wasn’t able to flex his muscles more in ODIs and Tests. Men in Blue concentrated more on the shortest format in the past two years, which was one of the key reasons why he wasn’t able to rack more centuries. In 2020 and 2021, the Delhi-born batter scored zero international centuries.
Conclusion: Sachin Tendulkar vs Virat Kohli
Overall, based on the statistics of international cricket up to this point, Virat should be able to surpass the milestone of 100 centuries in his career. Even though his performance over the last three years has not been stellar, it will only be a matter of time before he returns to his best. The most crucial element, aside from his performance, will be his choice of when to play.
Virat is a dedicated player, therefore we can anticipate seeing him for at least the next six years. Hence, how he uses this remaining time is entirely up to him.
