NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli is just breaking records for fun and now he has made another one during the first ODI between India and New Zealand in Vadodara.

Kohli has now crossed 28,000 international runs, becoming only the third player and the fastest in the history of cricket to reach this milestone, a testament to the extraordinary levels he has achieved in his prolonged career.

Kohli has completed 28000 runs in international cricket. He is the quickest to reach there in just 624 innings, bettering Sachin Tendulkar (644 innings) and Kumar Sangakkara (666 innings).

Kohli’s tally now stands at 9,230 runs in Tests, 14,582 runs in ODIs, and 4,188 runs in T20Is, taking his overall international run count to the 28,000 mark across formats.

Another feat for King Kohli

Just moments after bringing up 28k runs in international cricket. Kohli went past Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run scorer in international cricket.

Sangakkara had finished his career with 28,016 runs, but Kohli moved ahead with 28,017 runs.

Most runs in international cricket:

--Sachin Tendulkar: 34,357 runs in 782 innings

--Virat Kohli: 28,017 runs in 624 innings*

--Kumar Sangakkara: 28,016 runs in 666 innings

What makes the feat even more remarkable is the pace at which Kohli has done it. He has crossed Sangakkara’s tally in just 624 innings, while maintaining a mind-blowing average of 52.58.
