Virat Kohli set a new benchmark as he recorded his 50th ODI century to overtake fellow India great Sachin Tendulkar as New Zealand were put to the sword in their World Cup semi-final.<\/p>\n

Kohli equalled the record earlier this month and is now out in front as Tendulkar watched his former team-mate compile a superlative 117 off 113 balls to underpin India\u2019s 397 for four in Mumbai.<\/p>\n

After moving to three figures, Kohli jumped up and punched the air before sinking to his knees and soaking up the cacophonous applause from the likes of Tendulkar and former footballer David Beckham.<\/p>\n

Tendulkar wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: \u201cThe first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a \u2018Virat\u2019 player.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier that an Indian broke my record. And to do it on the biggest stage \u2013 in the World Cup Semi-final \u2013 and at my home ground is the icing on the cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shreyas Iyer thumped 105 off just 70 balls while there were contributions from captain Rohit Sharma (47), Shubman Gull (80no) and KL Rahul (39), with New Zealand struggling to contain their opponents.<\/p>\n
