Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer believes Virat Kohli has the potential to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 international centuries, crediting his current form and fitness. Jaffer and former South Africa opener Herschelle Gibbs both emphasize Kohli's remaining years in cricket and laud Shubman Gill as a rising star in Indian cricket.

Kohli's diving catch to dismiss Naseem Shah during India's Champions Trophy win over Pakistan was his 157th in ODIs, moving him ahead of Mohammad Azharuddin for the most outfield catches in the format by an Indian player. Azharuddin took his last ODI catch for India in 2000.

Virat Kohli wowed the Dubai crowd, slamming his 51st ODI Ton, as India outclassed Pakistan by six wickets. India chased down 242 with ease, doing it with 7.3 overs to spare, and have almost certainly sealed qualification to the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-finals.
