Virat Kohli: Breaking Records-The Fastest to 26,000 International Runs.

 On October 19, Virat Kohli became the fastest batsman in cricket history to score 26,000 international runs, breaking the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record. Before the match against Bangladesh, Kohli had scored 25,923 runs in 566 innings. He achieved this feat with a stunning six during a World Cup match in Pune.


As of right now, Virat Kohli is the fourth-highest run scorer in all of cricket. With 26,026 runs in 567 innings, including 78 centuries and 134 half-centuries in all formats, he ranks behind only Ricky Ponting (27,483), Kumar Sangakkara (28,016), and Sachin Tendulkar (34,357) in terms of run-scoring. Kohli has left behind Mahela Jayawardene (25,957), who is now fifth on the list of highest run-scorers in cricket.

In the ODI World Cup, Virat Kohli has scored 1,289 runs in 30 matches so far. He has secured three centuries in this format, with an average of 53.70 in World Cup batting.

In 2011, during his World Cup debut, Kohli scored a remarkable century against Bangladesh. Interestingly, his most recent World Cup century (on October 19, 2023) also came against Bangladesh. In 2015, he notched up his second century against Pakistan in Adelaide.

Virat Kohli's 48th century against Bangladesh stirred up controversy. The wide ball decision by umpire Richard Kettleborough has been a topic of discussion. Kohli was at 97 runs, and Nasum Ahmed was bowling, with India needing just 2 runs to win. In limited-overs cricket, a ball that passes leg side without touching the batsman's pads is referred to as an immediate wide. Kettleborough did not classify it as wide, though.

Virat Kohli is playing in his fourth World Cup. Excluding Ravichandran Ashwin, he is the only player who was part of the 2011 World Champion Indian team.
