Kohli Just 25 Runs Away From Rare Record
Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli is on the verge of creating history once again. The star batter needs just 25 more runs to reach the elite 28,000-run milestone in international cricket. He is expected to achieve this landmark during the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting on January 11.
Return to Action in New Zealand Series
After stepping away from T20 and Test cricket, Kohli has shifted his full focus to the ODI format. The first ODI against New Zealand will mark his return to competitive action. As a result, excitement among fans has reached a peak, with many expecting a historic performance in the opening match itself.
Elite Club With Sachin and Sangakkara
So far, only Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara have crossed the 28,000-run mark in international cricket. Currently, Kohli has scored 27,975 runs in 623 innings. Once he reaches the milestone, he will become the third player in history to achieve this rare feat.
Notably, Kohli is also set to break another record. If he reaches 28,000 runs in fewer innings than Sachin Tendulkar, it will further strengthen his legacy as one of the greatest batters of all time.
A Legend of the ODI Format
Kohli remains one of the most consistent performers in ODI cricket. He has already scored 53 centuries and 76 half-centuries, numbers that place him among the all-time greats. In addition, his leadership as India’s most successful Test captain continues to earn praise.
Fans Await Another Golden Moment
With the New Zealand series around the corner, fans are eagerly waiting for Kohli to script another historic chapter. Social media is already buzzing, as supporters believe that just one good innings is enough for the ‘King’ to make history again.
28,000-Run Club
Sachin Tendulkar – 34,357 runs (782 innings)
Kumar Sangakkara – 28,016 runs (666 innings)
Virat Kohli – 27,975 runs (623 innings)*
