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 —Vensatry (Ping) 07:15, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

- Restored. It was removed by an anon. Thanks for the comments —Vensatry (Ping) 04:44, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments - The references should all follow the same date format. Aureez (Talk) 19:06, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon me, but I cannot find any inconsistency. —Vensatry (Ping) 05:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You use Day Month Year and Year-Month-Day. Aureez (Talk) 06:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I was looking at every other part except the dates. Fixed now —Vensatry (Ping) 07:27, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Rambling Man: and @Aureez: Done there I think —Vensatry (Ping) 11:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Sufur222
Huge fan of Kohli, so I'll happily leave a few comments.
That's all – just a few grammar fixes, as the tables look fine. A future legend of the game, one hopes, that I'm happy to offer suggestions on improving their Wikipedia content towards. Any queries on my comments, don't hesitate to ask me – I'll support when everything is sorted. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 18:34, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- 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 • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 08:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, he hasn't changed much! —Vensatry (Ping) 15:24, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Support, thanks for being responsive to my comments. — Cirt (talk) 09:10, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- 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) —Vensatry (Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "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. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- 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)[reply]
- As I said earlier, "86-ball 133 not out" won't sound that good. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "while playing against West Indies in a tri-nation tournament" => "while playing against the West Indies in a tri-nation tournament"
- "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"
- "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. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "The result of the match was based upon Duckworth–Lewis method" => "The result of the match was based upon the Duckworth–Lewis method"
- "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
- Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:14, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the comments Chris. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- 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)[reply]
- 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. —Vensatry (Ping) 07:52, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- 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)[reply]
