KATHMANDU: Former Indian captain Virat Kohli has shattered another milestone, surpassing cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the fastest 14,000 runs in One Day Internationals (ODIs).
Kohli achieved the feat in just 287 innings, breaking Tendulkar’s record of 350 innings.
He reached this historic milestone during India’s match against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy on Sunday.
Chasing a target of 242 runs, Kohli not only reached the landmark but also secured victory for India with a century.
With this achievement, Kohli becomes only the third player in ODI history to score 14,000 runs, joining Tendulkar and Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara.
