Overview

  • Sunil Gavaskar said Kohli can reach 100 international hundreds if he keeps playing for about three more years and sustains his current form.
  • Kohli has 84 international centuries after back-to-back tons against South Africa, leaving him 16 shy of Sachin Tendulkar’s mark.
  • Gavaskar flagged the upcoming break before the New Zealand ODIs starting January 11 as a possible disruptor to Kohli’s momentum.
  • To stay match-ready, Kohli has signed up to play Vijay Hazare Trophy games for Delhi during the international lull.
  • Coverage notes fewer bilateral ODIs but projects roughly 25–30 for India before the 2027 World Cup, while separate analysis suggests the chase may extend beyond that tournament.
