ODI World Cup: Diligently executing the role given to him and playing to the situation was the key to his consistent display in the ongoing ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023, said former India captain Virat Kohli soon after scoring his 50th ODI century in the semifinal clash with New Zealand on Wednesday.

Kohli on Wednesday scored his third century of this World Cup, reaching 117 off 113 balls, hitting nine fours and two sixes as he went past Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most centuries by a batsman in ODI cricket. He had equalled Tendulkar's record of 48 tons by scoring a hundred against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on November 5. His 50th century came in 279th innings while Tendulkar's 49 came in 452.

Kohli has also scored five half-centuries in the 2023 World Cup to take his total to 711 runs in 10 innings at a sensational average of 101.56.
