It's not old enough. Just a few years ago, when cricket's god Sachin Tendulkar comes to the field, he always makes some records. While the time has changed so much that whenever Virat Kohli does something good, Sachin Tendulkar's record is broken. The third match of the ODI series between India and the West Indies has also been similar. Virat Kohli has scored a brilliant century in this match.
