29-year-old Kohli becamee only the fourth batsman from India and 13th ever to score 10000 ODI runs.

Software update all the time. Virat Kohli has redefined what consistency means. Got his 9000th odi run just 11 innings ago and got his 10000 th today, to go with his 37th century. Enjoy the phenomena #KingKohli pic.twitter.com/OPhvIsBRDJ

After his prolific century in the first ODI against West Indies, Kohli needed 81 runs to reach the milestone and he made most of his inning in the second ODI, achieving the feat with 37th ODI century.

And the insanity continues with an undying intensity. Congratulations #KingKohli on 10,000 ODI runs and 37th century. The hunger, consistency and intensity is simply incredible pic.twitter.com/DGoP1GlZ01

'Master Blaster' Sachin Tendulkar was among the first to wish the modern master of cricket on twitter. After that, the social media landscape was flooded with messages for the Kohli.

Kohli will probably go to bed thinking "What a routine kind of day. Nothing unusual happened...... Ah well, maybe tomorrow then..."
