List of international cricket centuries by Virat Kohli

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 07:15, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Virat Kohli, a highly-talented upcoming cricketer, needs no introduction among the cricket circles. Aged 25, he already holds multiple records in ODIs. In all probability, I think he is the fastest cricketer to join the elite club of "25 international centuries" in the modern era. Look forward to your suggestions &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 07:15, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support: Yes it should be.RRD13 (talk) 06:38, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

 * "and the present " see WP:ASOF.
 * My bad. Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Just "Viv Richards" is fine, no need for his knighthood (or any other titles).
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "Kohli made 25 centuries" ->" has made"
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * move "in international cricket to before the description of Test and ODI.
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * " His "86-ball 133"" why in quotes?
 * Because I thought 86-ball 133 not out won't sound that good. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "where Kohli made his career-best score." career-highest, and no need for a full stop.
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Any reason the tables aren't sortable?
 * Restored. It was removed by an anon. Thanks for the comments &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments - The references should all follow the same date format. Aureez  (Talk ) 19:06, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Pardon me, but I cannot find any inconsistency. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You use Day Month Year and Year-Month-Day. Aureez  (Talk ) 06:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I was looking at every other part except the dates. Fixed now &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 07:27, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * and Done there I think &mdash; Vensatry  (Ping) 11:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Everything has been dealt with, so I have no qualms in supporting this nomination. Here's to many more years of Kohli taking the aerial route, and hitting them like a tracer bullet. I Am Rufus  &bull; <font colour="Blue" face="Garamond"> Conversation is a beautiful thing.  08:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, he hasn't changed much! &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 15:24, 22 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). My only issue would be to make the Footnotes and References their own separate two-level subsections. Once that's done I'd feel ready to Support. Let me know when that's done, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 06:16, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't have any issues implementing the suggestion. But do you see any problem in nesting both under a single section or is it an MoS violation? &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 08:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It just seems redundant. Let me know once this is addressed and I'll feel more comfortable supporting. Cheers, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 17:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 03:20, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I've addressed your concerns. &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 07:25, 20 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Support, thanks for being responsive to my comments. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 09:10, 20 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * "he has made 25 centuries in international cricket—nineteen in One Day Internationals (ODI) and six in Test cricket—as of February 2014" - 25 should be in words to match the other two
 * Done (not exactly as you suggested though) &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * "His "86-ball 133" not out against Sri Lanka" - why the quote marks around "86-ball 133"........?
 * As I said earlier, "86-ball 133 not out" won't sound that good. &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * It sounds fine to me. There is genuinely no reason to use quote marks there at all -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:04, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 11:41, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * "while playing against West Indies in a tri-nation tournament" => "while playing against the West Indies in a tri-nation tournament"
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * "Out of his 19 ODI centuries, 13 had come in the second innings, and India had lost only two matches when Kohli made a century" => "Out of his 19 ODI centuries, 13 have come in the second innings, and India have lost only two matches when Kohli made a century"
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * "As of February 2014, he holds the record for the fastest player to score 19 centuries in ODIs" - there's a record for the fastest player to get 19 centuries? Seems a bit random.........
 * That's a record indeed! Rephrased the sentence. &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * "The result of the match was based upon Duckworth–Lewis method" => "The result of the match was based upon the Duckworth–Lewis method"
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:14, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comments Chris. &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * looking pretty good, but I still don't understand the significance of being the fastest to 19 ODI centuries. It's a completely random number and seems meaningless.  Does someone's article somewhere on WP state that they were the fastest to 8 centuries, or 17, or 23?  Do you see what I'm getting at?  Why is being the fastest to 19 in any way important or significant? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:59, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Isn't it related to his centuries. Currently there are only six players who have made 19+ centuries (five of them are retired). Doesn't it make the reader understand that he has a good conversion rate? We have mentions about players scoring 5000, 6000, 7000 runs and so on in some articles. If you're still not convinced, have a look at the rephrased sentence now. If it's the only issue that's stopping this list to becoming an FLC, I'll remove it. &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 07:52, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe have something like "His 19 ODI centuries have been achieved in [nn] matches, faster than any other player to reach this figure". That takes away the suggestion that an official record is kept of how fast players get to the rather specific/random number of 19 centuries -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:32, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry <font color = "Indigo" >(Ping) 15:04, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - all looks good now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:47, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
