India batter Virat Kohli scored his 48th ODI century to help India beat Bangladesh by seven wickets in the 2023 World Cup on Thursday.

Kohli is the fastest to the mark, having reached it in 567 innings. The previous best was by former Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who achieved this feat in 600 innings.
