  Third in list of most ODI runs

 

Kohli, earlier in the innings, became the fastest player to reach the 14,000-run mark in ODI cricket. He is only the third batter, after Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara, to achieve this milestone. He is now focused on climbing higher in the rankings of all-time leading run-scorers in ODI cricket following his historic achievement on Sunday. Although surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 18,426 runs remains a distant goal, Kohli has a strong chance of claiming the second spot from Kumar Sangakkara, who has 14,234 runs. With the ongoing Champions Trophy, he could potentially surpass Sangakkara and solidify his place among the greatest ODI batters.
