Star Indian batter Virat Kohli has scored over 13000 runs in his ODI career so far. The right-hander has been among the best batters of the 50-overs format in the last decade, achieving several milestones for India. Kohli is the third highest run-scorer of all time in ODIs with 13906 runs, including 50 centuries. The former Indian captain was at the peak of his powers when he surpassed Sachin Tendulkar to become the fastest player to score 10000 ODI runs in a match against West Indies in Visakhapatnam on October 24, 2018.
During their remarkable clash, Virat Kohli played a captain’s knock of 157*(129) runs. This was Kohli’s 37th ton in the 50-overs format. However, the crowd went wild as soon as Kohli completed his 110th run in that game to become the fastest player to score 10000 runs in the ODI format. Kohli achieved the feat in his 205th ODI innings, while Sachin Tendulkar achieved it in his 259th innings. Five years later, another Indian batter Rohit Sharma also surpassed Sachin's by scoring 10000 ODI runs in 241 innings.
