Analyzing Kohli’s century drought, Butt said on his YouTube channel, "He's broken so many barriers already. Who could have thought that a boy in his age will get 70 centuries? Who would have that he would become as fit as he is today, or carry the kind of form that he has? He has a strike rate of 90 in chases, an average of over 50 in all three format."
The former Pakistani batsman feels Kohli will score three figures during India's upcoming tour of England. Kohli has so far scored 43 ODIs tons and 27 Test hundreds. Another century will see him go past Ricky Ponting to become the solo holder of most international hundreds as captain. As of now both him and Ponting are tied at 41 each.
"Who would have thought? These are barriers he's already crossed. Who can stop him from crossing this barrier? In fact, he can do it in the next match or the next series itself.
"He hasn't scored a century in more than a year but look at the runs he's still scored. If he doesn't get a century, we think he hasn't scored at all. I think he has all the credentials to do it and it's just a matter of time," Butt added.
Kohli will lead India in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against New Zealand in Southampton. The match will be played from June 18-22. India and England will then battle it out in a five-match Test series, starting August 4 in Nottingham. The last time India visited England, they were hammered 1-4 in a five-match Test series.
