\n\nVirat Kohli is on the cusp of creating a world record and is only one century away from overtaking Sachin Tendulkar in an elite list. Kohli, who already holds the record for scoring the most ODI centuries, has scored 60 List A centuries in total. He shares the top spot with Sachin, who scored his last List A century in his penultimate ODI against Bangladesh. Kohli will create a world record and become the batter with the most List A centuries when he breaches the three-figure mark.
\n\nKohli, who will make his on-field return in the five-match series against New Zealand, can achieve the milestone there. Kohli has 60 centuries and 88 half-centuries in only 340 innings across 351 matches. He has piled up 16759 runs at an average of 57.98.
\n\nSachin finished his career with 60 centuries and 114 fifties in 538 innings across 551 matches. He piled up 21999 runs at an average of 45.54 before retiring from List A cricket in December 2012. No other batter has managed to score 50 or more centuries in List A cricket.
\n\nRohit Sharma has 39 List A centuries.
