India captain Virat Kohli on Saturday notched up his 38th century and became the first Indian to score three consecutive centuries in One-day Internationals (ODI). While playing the third ODI against the Windies at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, Virat Kohli reached the coveted three-figure mark off 110 balls in the 37.1 over. Other than Virat Kohli, only three other batsmen have scored three consecutive hundreds in a bilateral series - Pakistan's Zaheer Abbas (against India), Quinton de Kock of South Africa (against India) and Babar Azam of Pakistan (against the West Indies). This is also the first time that the Indian captain scored a century in Pune. Kohli, who surpassed batting legend Sachin Tendulkar to become the fastest player to reach 10,000 ODI runs, has been in a fine touch in the ongoing series. The Indian run-machine, at 397*, has now accumulated most runs in an ODI series against the Windies.
