dismissal, the match was a historic one for Virat Kohli, as he became
only the 14th Indian cricketer to play 300 ODIs. His incredible
consistency and unmatched hunger for runs have solidified his position as one
of the greatest batters in cricket history.
In the previous match
against Pakistan, Kohli smashed his 51st ODI century, which helped him
climb to No. 5 in the ICC ODI rankings. With this feat, he also became
only the third player to surpass 14,000 runs in 50-over cricket,
joining an elite club that includes Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara.

synonymous with breaking records throughout his career. With 14,096 runs
in 300 ODIs, an impressive average of 58.01, and a strike rate
of 93.40, he continues to rewrite history. His best score of 183
remains one of the most memorable knocks in ODI cricket.
Currently, Kohli is
just 138 runs away from overtaking Kumar Sangakkara for the second
spot on the all-time ODI run charts. However, he still has a long way to
go to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's record of 18,426 runs. Given his
fitness and hunger for runs, many believe he could eventually challenge this
milestone.
