Virat Kohli gathered praise from the cricket fraternity as he surpassed batting icon Sachin Tendulkar to become the fastest man to reach 10,000 ODI runs. The right-handed batsman reached the record in the second ODI against West Indies at Visakhapatnam. Kohli took 205 innings to reach the milestone while Tendulkar took 259 in doing so. His innings propelled India’s score to 321/6. Kohli ended his innings unbeaten on 157 off 129 balls and his innings included 13 fours and four sixes.
Software update all the time. Virat Kohli has redefined what consistency means. Got his 9000th odi run just 11 innings ago and got his 10000 th today, to go with his 37th century. Enjoy the phenomena #KingKohli pic.twitter.com/OPhvIsBRDJ
