Virat Kohli silences critics: 51st century and 14,000 ODI runs in the match against Pakistan.

Virat Kohli proved he is far from finished, smashing an unbeaten 100* in a tense clash against Pakistan at the 2025 Champions Trophy. His stellar performance helped India secure a commanding six-wicket victory and advance to the semifinals.

Kohli became only the third player in history to cross the 14,000-run mark in ODIs, joining legends Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara. Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan praised his brilliance: “No matter the pressure, he always finds a way to win.”

Kohli's next challenge awaits — his milestone 300th ODI against New Zealand.
