‘Virat Kohli will break Sachin Tendulkar’s century record’: Ex-India star makes MASSIVE claim

The ex-India star in question here is Wasim Jaffer, who believes that Kohli will eventually go on to break Tendulkar's record of 100 centuries

Former India opener Wasim Jaffer believes Virat Kohli will continue to play for at least three to four more years and will go on to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international centuries.

Kohli recently completed his 82nd century in international cricket with a match-winning knock against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Champions Trophy.

“As a cricket fan you want to see Virat as much as you can. With the form he was in (against Pakistan), nobody wants to see him get out. When he makes runs everybody is happy, and I am sure everyone wants Virat to play for 3-4 more years and break all records,” Jaffer said.

“The century record is one that looks like Virat is going to break. When Sachin Tendulkar made 100 centuries it looked it will never be broken but the way Virat made runs since 2010 it looks he will break that impossible thing. If Virat breaks that Sachin Tendulkar will also be very happy,” Jaffer added.

The former India cricketer also showered praise on Shubman Gill, however added that it is unfair to compare him to Kohli.

“It will be unfair on Shubman to judge him with Virat Kohli, Shubman is making his own road. He is playing terrific cricket. In England series, he was man-of-the-series, he made a good start to the Champions Trophy and I hope he will continue because everybody has expectations from him. He and the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal are going to take Indian batting forward. It is nice to watch the way he is playing cricket,” Jaffer said.
