It is said that records are made to break. However, there are some records of cricket that become classical. Their breakdown is considered almost impossible. For example, after playing more than 50 Tests, Don Bradman’s average of 99.94. Muttiah Muralitharan’s record of 1347 wickets in international cricket.
After retirement from Virat Kohli’s Test, Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries can also be included in this list. Although Virat is just 18 centuries behind Sachin’s exploits, but after saying goodbye to the Test, it is very difficult for him to reach 100 centuries. In the story, we will learn further why this is so. Also, we will also know why no other batsman of the present and future can reach this number.
Virat now depended only on ODI After making India the champion last year, Virat retired from T20 International. Now he has also said goodbye to the test. Now if he has to reach Sachin’s record, then 18 centuries will have to be scored in ODIs. Virat has hinted that he can continue to play in this format till 2027 ODIs.
Virat scored a century in every 6 innings on an average in ODIs. At this speed, he will have to play 108 innings for 18 centuries. India plays an average of 16 ODIs every year since 2020. In this sense, the next World Cup Indian team will barely play 40-50 matches. Even if Virat plays the matches, he will be able to score at most 7 to 8 centuries. That is, it is almost impossible for him to reach 100 centuries now.
No surroundings in active players Talking about the batsmen involved in Fab-4, there is no one around Sachin’s great record. Joe Root 53, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson have been able to score only 48-48 centuries. It is difficult for any of them to reach 100 centuries.
Apart from Fab-4, Rohit Sharma has scored 49 centuries. Rohit has also retired from T20 and Test cricket. In such a situation, it is difficult to reach Tendulkar’s records then.
ODI and Tests will be less in future Tendulkar’s record of records is less likely to break. The number of ODI and Test matches is continuously decreasing. They are expected to be even less. The number of ODIs has declined by 22% in the last decade. At the same time, the number of Tests has increased by just 7 matches.
Experts suggest that there are more chances of scoring centuries in ODIs and Tests. At the same time, it is not easy to score a century in T20. Because in this format, the batters have to score fast. In such a situation, the risk of getting out increases.
- From 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2014, the top-10 teams have played 1196 ODIs, while since January 1, 2015, 937 ODIs have been played between the top-10 teams.
- The number of Tests has not declined, but experts believe that the increasing number of T20 leagues will reduce Test matches. Since January 1, 2015, 430 Test matches have been played.
No other contender in the world Talking about young batsmen around the world, there is no such batsman under 30 years of age. Which has scored 30 centuries. In such a situation, it is like a dream to reach 100 centuries of these batters. Because, Sachin had to play 664 international matches to make a great record of 100 centuries.
It is difficult for one player to get such a chance in the present time cricket. Also, today’s batsmen focus more in limited overs cricket. In such a situation, no batsman will reach the record of Sachin Tendulkar.
