Virat Kohli Names Surprising Choice for Greatest ODI Innings on 38th Birthday

Virat Kohli Names Surprising Choice for Greatest ODI Innings on 38th Birthday
World Sports · 16:11:02 - Saturday, 7 November 2026

India cricket star Virat Kohli marked his 38th birthday by revealing his pick for the greatest ODI innings of his career, and it was not the famous 183 against Pakistan in Hobart that many expected.

In a recent interaction, Kohli dismissed two of his most celebrated knocks — the 183 versus Pakistan at the 2012 Asia Cup in Hobart and another unspecified innings — as his personal favorite. The former India captain did not disclose in the available remarks which specific innings he now regards as his best, leaving fans and analysts to speculate among his numerous match-winning centuries across a 16-year international career.

Kohli, who made his ODI debut in 2008, has amassed over 13,000 runs in the format with 50 centuries, second only to Sachin Tendulkar. His birthday revelation adds another layer to the ongoing debate about his most impactful performance in the 50-over game.
