Kohli has the potential to break Tendulkar’s record: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jonathan-Neil-Rhodes-c69150 – Cricket News Update
South African legend, Jonty Rhodes, has expressed the belief that records are temporary, and that Sachin Tendulkar’s record for a hundred centuries is not unbreakable, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737 prominent as a promising challenger.
“Records are meant to be broken,” he insisted. “Who could have ever thought that Sachin or anybody will score hundred hundreds.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. The Little Master, already acknowledged as one of the modern greats, came under immense
pressure, as he fell into a batting slump as expectations grew.
The 38-year-old appeared to be reaching a year without a century after he posted disappointing scores such as 2, 15, and 3 in the Commonwealth Bank series Down Under last month.
However, the breakthrough came during India’s match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 in the recently wrapped-up Asia Cup. While the Men in Blue conceded a shocking 5-wicket defeat to the host team, Sachin finally struck gold with his 114.
The record attracted praise from all quarters, with going on to deem it an unbreakable record. However, Rhodes feels that the fiery young Kohli could prove to be an exception to that rule.
“At this stage, it's easy to say a guy like Virat is expected to break the record,” he observed.
“I am impressed watching Virat Kohli bat, the conversion rate once he gets a start is simply outstanding. I think he has got more 100s than he has got fifties, which is a great sign and which shows someone who is very hungry for runs.”
Kohli recently broke out into the spotlight following a valiant 133 knock against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in Hobart, during India’s last match of the CB series, and since then his star has been on the rise.
Appointed vice-captain after he enabled his team to salvage some pride at the end of what had been a disastrous tri-series for the Men In Blue, the 23-year-old went on to score 108 against Sri Lanka during the Asia Cup, and followed that up with a spectacular
183 off 148 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755.
His career spans 85 ODIs, during which he has already scored 3590 runs, including 11 hundreds, and 21 fifties.
