Chandigarh, November 5

As birthday boy Virat Kohli equalled legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in One Day Internationals with his historic ton against South Africa at Eden Gardens on Sunday, the master blaster wished the Indian star batter scores his 50th in the next few days.

“Well played Virat.

It took me 365 days to go from 49 to 50 earlier this year (sic). I hope you go from 49 to 50 and break my record in the next few days. Congratulations!!”, Sachin posted on X after Virat hit the record equalling ton.

Kohli remained unbeaten on 101 and faced 121 balls in his knock.

While Kohli took 277 innings to hit 49th century, Tendulkar took 452 innings to reach the milestone.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
