Another day, another record broken. Virat Kohli has become the third man in history to score 14,000 runs in ODIs. He’s been in a league of his own in 50-over cricket for more than a decade now. Many thought his dominance would stop due to his dry spell in Test cricket, but Kohli isn’t stopping just yet.

In the India vs. Pakistan match at the ICC Champions Trophy, Kohli has crossed the 14000-run mark. He had the chance to do so against Bangladesh but couldn’t get there. In his second outing at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Kohli has done it. After Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara, he’s become the third man to score 14,000 runs in ODIs.

Not just that, he’s the fastest to 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000, and 14000 runs in 50-over cricket.
- 8000 runs (175 Innings)

- 12000 runs (242 Innings)
- 13000 runs (267 Innings)

The only thing stopping him from breaking Tendulkar’s all-time record is the number of ODIs he’ll play, which have decreased massively over the last couple of years.
