How a hundred gets onto the list

The ledger is the Wikipedia table titled List of international cricket centuries by Virat Kohli, which cites ESPNcricinfo scorecards for the rows. It was checked on 6 November 2026. The lead of that page, and the rows parsed from it, agree on 86 hundreds: 30 Tests, 55 ODIs, 1 T20I. The photographs are separate. Each one is a Wikimedia Commons file under a Creative Commons licence, and the caption names the photographer. A picture illustrates the player. It is not a picture of every hundred, and it is not an endorsement.

The Auckland ODI on 4 November 2026 is not a new row. Match reports give Kohli 74 off 51 in a rain-shortened chase that India won. Because that score is under 100, the parsed list is still current. The next check is due after the next time he bats.

What the columns mean

A chase is the second innings of an ODI or T20I, or the fourth innings of a Test. Every other hundred is marked set. That rule is blunt on purpose. A Test second innings is not called a chase just because the game is moving. Captain is the double-dagger mark on the source row. Not out is the asterisk. World Cup is tagged only when the scorecard title in the source says World Cup. Place is the home, away, or neutral mark on that row.

One date in the source uses an extra character in the date template, the Hambantota hundred on 21 July 2012. It is included. The Indore ODI hundred on 18 January 2026 is stored as 124, which is the score on the cited scorecard, even where a news line said 102.

What the calculator is doing

It takes the innings you type and a gap you choose, divides, and drops the remainder. Ten innings at one hundred every four innings is two more hundreds, not 2.5. It then adds that whole number to 86. One every four innings is labelled as the recent stretch of four ODI hundreds in 16 innings from November 2025 to September 2026. One every six and one every eight are scenarios. They are not a claim about his career innings count, which this ledger does not store.

The default innings box is the reported bilateral games still ahead: four in New Zealand, three against Sri Lanka, three against Zimbabwe. Asia Cup and World Cup matches are described on the window page as capacity. They are not dropped silently into the default.
