'Kohli can't score 100 centuries, Shubman Gill will rule cricket in future'; Brian Lara explains with reason

TRINIDAD: Renowned cricket legend Brian Lara recently shared insights on Virat Kohli's pursuit to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's monumental record of 100 international centuries. Lara, while acknowledging Kohli's exceptional talent and dedication, expressed skepticism about Kohli achieving this feat due to age-related challenges.

Kohli, at 35 years old currently boasts an impressive tally of 80 centuries. Lara highlighted the significance of age in a player's career, emphasizing that while Kohli's prowess is undeniable, the road to achieving 100 centuries within a span of four years remains arduous.

In a recent statement, Lara lauded Kohli's fitness regimen, urging young players to emulate his dedication. Additionally, Lara identified India's young batting sensation, Shubman Gill aged 23 as a promising talent set to make a significant impact in cricket's future landscape.

Expressing confidence in Gill's potential, Lara envisioned the young opener surpassing his personal record high score of 400 in Test cricket endorsing him as the standout among current young players.

Lara's perspective sheds light on the challenges Kohli might face despite his exceptional form and fitness providing valuable insights into the dynamics of achieving historic milestones in cricket.
