How many centuries has Virat Kohli hit in Tests, ODIs, T20Is for IND? Here's the full stat

Former India skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday slammed his maiden century after a gap of nearly three years. Kohli's century came during India's Asia Cup match against Afghanistan at the Dubai International Stadium. Kohli scored an unbeaten 122 runs off 61 balls to help India post a mammoth total on the board, which eventually resulted in the side winning the game by a huge margin. The 33-year-old also achieved multiple milestones as he ended his century drought after more than 1000 days and 83 international innings.  

With his 71st century, Kohli has now equalled the record of former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting's mark of 71 international centuries. Only Sachin Tendulkar (100) has more international centuries than Kohli and Ponting. Kohli reached the milestone of 71 international centuries in just 522 innings, which is the fastest between the three greats. Interestingly, this was Kohli's first century in T20 Internationals. As of 2022, Kohli has the most number of international centuries for an active player. He has also become the seventh cricketer and third Indian in the history of the game to score more than 24,000 international runs.
