During the Monday India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Super Four match, Virat Kohli broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 13000 ODI runs and became the fastest player to reach the milestone. Resuming his innings from the reserve day, the former India captain scored his 47th ODI century in just 29 balls after scoring a half-century off 55 balls.
In Short
- Virat Kohli got to the milestone of 13000 ODI runs on Monday
- Kohli got to his hundred off 102 balls at R Premadasa Stadium
- Kohli is 2 hundred away from Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of 49 hundred.
In his 267th inning, Kohli breezed past Tendulkar to win the championship. He is now the fastest batter to score 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 120000 and 13000 runs in one-day internationals.
Virat Kohli Breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s Record Of Highest Runs
The fact that Kohli conquered Mount 13K in 54 fewer innings than Tendulkar did (321 innings) gives the Virat vs. Sachin debate more weight. Kohli’s 47th century implies that he is currently only two shy of attempting his venerated image for the most ODI hundreds of years and three preceding he obscured the extraordinary man to arrive at 50 one-day tons, which is a charitable accomplishment.
India scored a staggering 356/2 thanks to Kohli’s love affair with Pakistan, and KL Rahul scored his sixth century in an ODI.
Kohli Is Just 2 Centuries Behind To Sachin’s Record
Kohli needed 98 runs before the match with 12902 runs, eight of which he got on Sunday when rain prevented play after 24.1 overs in which India had scored 147/2. What’s more, on Monday, on a belter of a batting surface, he traded out. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul started cautiously, but they both knew that Pakistan technically had no bowler and that Haris Rauf had been told not to bowl anymore.
Kohli and KL Rahul Gave Pakistan a Challenging Score
All through his innings,Virat Kohli continued looking towards the skies, watching out for the mists. He was aware that India needed to collect as many raindrops as possible if there was rain coming, which there was, so that Pakistan would have a huge target if it came down to DLS. That’s exactly what he and Rahul did as India continued to score more than six runs per over.
