King Kohli's juggernaut rolls on

Fastest to get to 10,000 runs in ODIs.

India captain Virat Kohli became the fastest batsman to reach 10,000 one-day international runs against West Indies in Visakhapatnam.

Kohli, who achieved the feat in his 205th innings, surpassed India legend Sachin Tendulkar, who did it in 259 innings in 2001.

He got to 10,000 runs with a single off spinner Ashley Nurse in his 213th ODI.

The 29-year-old is the 13th batsman to reach the milestone and the fifth Indian.

Kohli made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in August 2008.

The historic run against West Indies was part of his 37th ton in ODIs as he made an unbeaten 157 from 129 balls in India's total of 321-6 from 50 overs.

Kohli still has some way to go to break Tendulkar's all-time ODI run record however, with the former India skipper having made 18,426 runs before his retirement from the format in 2012.

Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara is second on 14,234 with Australia's Ricky Ponting on 13,704.

Averages 149 in 2018, averages exceptional 60 in ODIs, took only 11 innings from 9000 to 10000

There's Don Bradman, and then there's Virat Kohli.

Four all time greats got to 10,000 runs after 259-272 innings. If that is the yardstick then to do it in 205 innings is almost Bradmanesque. It almost equates to an average of 50 discounting not outs. I thought ODI perfection was Tendulkar 1997-1999, but this guy is something else. - User comment

Brillent player. Miles ahead of the next lot. Most amazing thing is his hunger and passion for converting starts into three figures. A stuff of legend. He is in league of his own. Coming from a Pakistani supporter

In MY humble opinion, we are witnessing one of the finest batsmen to ever grace this wonderful game.

People complaining about bigger bats, flat wickets or bad bowlers should also realize that there are other batsmen too of modern era who inspite of facing the same situation haven't matched up to Kohli.
It would be ideal to applaud his feat and enjoy the game.

You can say what you like about the state of the modern game, but there has been no one in this era as consistent, hardworking, prolific or passionate as Kohli. Amla, De Villiers, Root, Smith, Williamson etc. have simply been a league below. Rather than trying to belittle his achievements, we should be celebrating master of his art! 

Take a bow, champ.

Things would have also been different if the great Sir Don, had faced modern bowlers and other countries, other than England. Isn't it? So stop posting rubbish. Give the credit where it is due. Virat is a talent at a different level. Even Sir Viv has said that, Virat reminds him of himself.

My opinion on this:

King Kohli isn't done by any means however. The hunger to perform and to win for his team is only getting stronger, by the time he retires Kohli will be the first batsman ever to notch up 20k ODI runs and he might become the first player to score 10,000 runs in the T20 format as well.
