The former team India skipper has always been compared to the former great Sachin Tendulkar. Fans have always claimed that Kohli has the chance to break the record of scoring 100 international centuries. However, currently, he is stuck on 75 international centuries across all three formats. Now, regarding the same matter, the former Aussie all-rounder Shane Watson came up with a huge prediction.

“He will soon score another century.” - Shane Watson on Virat Kohli

While talking to Times, Shane Watson said: “It's incredible what he (Virat) has been able to achieve. He will continue to achieve. It took time for him to get to a Test century, but it was just a matter of time for him. He is a classy player, and he is incredibly good. He will soon score another century. He is just amazing."

He further added: "Virat's record speaks for itself at this point of time. He is in top form. His career still has a long way to go. It is hard to believe when you see his statistics and he has bright chances of getting 100 international hundreds. Sachin is the only cricketer to do that. Virat is phenomenal and has a number of years with him in cricket." 

Speaking of Virat Kohli, he has 75 centuries across all three formats in 496 matches. However, he became the fastest batter to score those centuries. Compared to Sachin, he scored 75 centuries in 566 innings. While Virat Kohli smashed 75 centuries in 552 innings. But, fans did not like the prediction from the Aussie all-rounder as they requested him not to jinx it. 

Here is how fans have trolled Shane Watson for such a prediction about Kohli:
