For the unversed, Kohli was tied with the batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar for scoring the most ODI centuries (49) before this match, and completed his record-breaking hundred during the 42nd over of the semi-final, bowled by Lockie Ferguson, taking 106 balls to reach the landmark with the help of eight boundaries and one six.

As for the 46th World Cup fixture on Wednesday at the popular Wankhede Stadium, Kohli and Shreyas Iyer’s magnificent hundreds, followed by Shami’s seven-fer, propelled India to defeat New Zealand by 70 runs and qualify for the ICC World Cup 2023 final.
