India were 71-1 when he arrived in the middle after captain Rohit Sharma’s dismissal.

Kohli celebrated his 35th birthday by scoring his 49th century, which brought him level with Tendulkar, in the match against South Africa earlier this month.

The Delhi-born batter reached his fifty from 59 balls with four boundaries and a six, which came off Tim Southee.

Kohli reached his 50th ODI hundred in his 279th match, while Tendulkar required 452 to reach 49 centuries.

Rohit is third on the list of ODI century makers, with 31 from 253 innings.

Kohli made 12 on his India debut in 2008 when opening the innings as the side were bowled out by Sri Lanka for 146 ahead of an eight-wicket defeat in Dambulla.

Three years later, at the Wankhede Stadium, Kohli would lift the ICC Cricket World Cup, alongside Tendulkar, as India overcame co-hosts Sri Lanka by six wickets.

Kohli made his Test debut in 2011, scoring 4 and 15 against the West Indies in Jamaica, and has gone on to score 29 centuries in 111 matches.
