Kohli showed his humility by acknowledging that, no matter his greatness, he could never match Master Blaster for most One-Day International centuries.
Barresi has publicly declared his admiration of Kohli and India’s 324-run win against Pakistan on March 3. He pledges his memory of him forever.
Kohli made history on his Birthday as he equaled Tendulkar’s ODI century and joined an exclusive club of batsmen who have hit an ODI 100 on their special day.
