Kohli`s retirement makes Sachin`s record of 100 tons `safe`

Kohli exits the Test arena with 30 centuries to his name in the format, and a total tally of 82 international hundreds, 51 in ODIs and one in T20Is
With just the ODI format left in his international career, the probability of Kohli scoring 19 more centuries seems increasingly remote
India is slated to play only 27 ODIs leading up to the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, including a short three-match Bangladesh series
Tendulkar’s century record, built over an illustrious career of 200 Test matches and 463 ODIs, included 51 centuries in Tests and 49 in ODIs
Kohli’s final numbers, 30 Test centuries, 51 in ODIs, and one in T20Is, place him second on the all-time list but still well behind
Even if Kohli plays every game, the margin for error is slim, and the physical toll of the game will only grow heavier with time
