ODI CWC 2023: Sri Lanka Skipper Kusal Mendis Passes A Weird Remark On Virat Kohli’s 49th ODI Ton

SL Captian Kusal Mendi’s Comments On Virat’s 49th Century In ODI WC 2023: The incredible Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has once again proved his guts by achieving a remarkable feat- scoring his 49th ODI century against South Africa in Match 37 of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The match was held on a Sunday at the iconic Eden Gardens, which added to the grandeur of this momentous occasion.

Virat Kohli’s mind-blogging performance got him a historic hundred and also secured a decisive win for the Indian cricket team. Even more, he got to be elevated as the former Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar. Virat’s accomplishment of 49 ODI centuries puts him on equality with Sachin, solidifying his position as one of the all-time greats in cricket.

Cricket fans and legends all over the world joined to congratulate Virat on his birthday for accomplishing a huge milestone. However, the skipper of Sri Lanka’s cricket team, Kusal Mendis, seemed displeased with the former Indian captain’s achievement.
