Another record that Virat Kohli is close to is the feat of most centuries as an ODI captain. At the moment, with 22 centuries (as an ODI captain) to his name, the Australian legend Ricky Ponting is holding the record of most centuries as an ODI captain. However, this very record is expected to be taken over by Kohli in the proximal future.

With 17 ODI centuries up his sleeve, he will need six more ODI tons in the year 2019 to surpass Ponting. Unquestionably, it calls for an arduous task. However, stressing upon his reputation, it cannot be ruled out. Besides that, the fact that India will be having a lot of ODI games this year - including the 2019 World Cup, it will only give enough chances to the Delhite to go past the mammoth feat.

Moreover, in the process, Kohli will also become the only first Indian captain to score 20 or more ODI centuries.
