Virat Kohli breaks Sachin Tendulkar's record

NEW DELHI: There's no preventing Virat Kohli. Literally. The India captain on Sunday added every other feather to his illustrious cap, as he changed into the fastest to complete 11,000 runs in One-Day Internationals (ODIs).

Kohli completed the implausible feat all over India’s mouth-watering ICC World Cup 2019 clash in opposition to arch-rivals Pakistan at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Kohli, who already has a large number of information to his title, wanted simply 57 runs to complete 11,000 runs in ODIs earlier than this game, and the Indian run machine added the file to his resume comfortably.


The 30-year-old has taken simply 222 innings (230 ODIs) to enter the 11000-run club, making him the fastest man to succeed in the mark.

Before Kohli, the file belonged to Sachin Tendulkar, who completed the feat in 276 innings (284 fits).

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is now 3rd at the checklist. Ponting finished his 11,000 runs in 286 innings (295 fits).


Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly, fondly referred to as ‘Dada’, took 288 innings (295 ODIs) to complete 11000 runs in ODIs.


South Africa’s Jacques Kallis (293 innings/307 fits) and Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara (318 innings/340 fits) are fifth and 6th respectively at the checklist.

Virat Kohli (INDIA) 222
