Virat Kohli on the verge of repeating history, a feat he achieved 7 years ago
Virat Kohli: The third and final match of the three-match ODI series between India and South Africa will be played on December 6th in Visakhapatnam. This match will be a do-or-die situation for both teams, as the series is currently tied at 1-1. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli in this match. King Kohli has returned to his old form. By scoring centuries in two consecutive matches, Virat Kohli has proved that when in form, no bowling attack in the world can stand against him. In the last match of the series, he also has a chance to repeat a major feat from 7 years ago.
Will Virat Kohli repeat this feat?
Virat Kohli started this series with a magnificent innings of 135 runs, which also led Team India to victory. In the second match, Virat played a century innings of 102 runs, although the team faced defeat in that match. By scoring two consecutive centuries, he is now at a point where another century will give him a special place in the pages of cricket history. He has a great opportunity to score a hat-trick of centuries in ODI cricket.
King Kohli has returned to his old form
Virat Kohli has scored three consecutive centuries only once in his entire ODI career. He achieved this feat against West Indies in 2018. If he scores a century in the last match against South Africa, it will be the second hat-trick of centuries in his career. Scoring a hat-trick of three consecutive centuries in ODI cricket is a great achievement in itself, and doing it twice is even more special.
So far, only Pakistan's Babar Azam has been able to achieve this feat twice, doing it for the first time in 2016 and the second time in 2022. If Virat manages to do this, he will become the second member of this special club along with Babar.
Special connection with Visakhapatnam
It is also noteworthy that when Virat Kohli scored a hat-trick of centuries against West Indies in 2018, one of those centuries was scored in Visakhapatnam.
