Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli produced a stellar performance during the first ODI against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram, scripting history by breaking major milestones previously held by legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
Displaying vintage form, Kohli smashed an unbeaten 139 runs off 88 deliveries, featuring 10 boundaries and a career-best 9 sixes. En route to this masterclass, he officially became only the second batter in cricket history—following Tendulkar—to cross the monumental threshold of 15,000 runs in One Day Internationals.
Kohli achieved this feat in just 303 innings, outstripping Tendulkar’s previous record by reaching the milestone 74 innings faster. Additionally, the prolific innings brought his overall List-A centuries count to the brink of matching Tendulkar’s legendary benchmark, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest white-ball cricketers of all time.
