Top 5 Unbreakable Records of Virat Kohli

1# Most ODI centuries

After Sachin Tendulkar's record of most ODI centuries (49), which stood for over 25 years, it was believed for some years that no one would be able to break this record. However, Virat Kohli completed 50 centuries in the ODI format last year. The closest among active players is Rohit Sharma with 31 and he is already 37 years old. In such a situation, it can be said that it is impossible to break this record.

2# India's most successful Test captain

Virat Kohli is India's most successful Test captain. He has registered 40 wins in 68 matches. Only five captains in the world have won more matches than him in the 147-year history of Test cricket.

3# Most ODI centuries against one team

Virat Kohli is the only player to score 10 ODI centuries against the same opponent (Sri Lanka). He has scored 9 centuries against West Indies and 8 against Australia. Sachin Tendulkar is second in the list with 9 centuries against Australia. Even Rohit Sharma has scored 8 centuries against Australia.

4# Most runs in a single edition of the ODI World Cup

Virat Kohli had scored 765 runs in the 2023 World Cup. He broke Sachin Tendulkar's 20-year-old record of most runs in a single edition of the tournament (673 runs in the 2003 World Cup).

5# Fastest to complete 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000 ODI runs

Virat Kohli is the greatest batsman of ODI. He became the fastest to complete 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, and 13000 ODI runs. When Kohli achieved the fastest 10,000 ODI runs in 205 innings, he took 54 less than Sachin. Sachin had held the record for more than 17 years. While Kohli breached the 11,000-run mark in just 222 innings. Sachin had done it in 276. It is safe to say none of the current upcoming players are reaching that mark quicker than Kohli.

Apart from that, Kohli reached 12000 runs in 242 innings, 13000 runs in 267 innings, 9000 runs in 194 innings, and 8000 runs in 175 innings.
