2 World Records Of Virat Kohli Which Might Never Be Broken

Share the post

Virat Kohli is arguably the greatest cricketer of this era. After the legends of Team India reached the final stages of their career, there were concerns about who would take the baton. It was then that Virat Kohli stepped up and at the moment, in terms of batting records, he is second to Sachin Tendulkar in India. However, some records of Virat Kohli are unlikely to be ever toppled. On that note, here, we take a look at two world records of former Indian skipper Virat Kohli which might never be broken in the game.

1) Fastest to 10000 ODI runs – 205 innings

Virat Kohli took 205 innings to reach 10000 ODI runs, a milestone mark for any batter. To provide context, Sachin Tendulkar is second on the list and the Master Blaster took 259 innings to achieve the same record.

In the current era, not many ODIs are played. If not for the World Cup year, some prominent names could even take a rest during an ODI series. Babar Azam currently has close to 4800 runs in 93 innings. While it is one challenge to hit 200 ODI innings, it would be a different task to reach 10000 ODI runs, taking into account his inconsistent form these days.

2) Most ODI centuries while chasing – 26*

To score the most ODI centuries while chasing is one of the hard-to-beat world records of former Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Also known as the ‘Chase Master, Virat Kohli has shown superior skills in doing well when put under pressure.

He has recorded 26 centuries while chasing a score. Sachin is second on the list with 17 centuries. It would be a mountainous task to get to Virat’s number. As mentioned earlier, the number of ODIs is itself less in number. In the scenario, it would be hard for anyone to score centuries consistently while chasing a target.
