India’s star batter Virat Kohli has achieved another remarkable milestone in his illustrious cricket career. The Indian captain broke former legend Sachin Tendulkar’s world record for the most runs in international white-ball cricket.
The record-breaking moment came during the third and final ODI against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. Virat Kohli played a match-winning knock of 74 runs, guiding India to a memorable victory and etching his name in cricket history once again.
With this achievement, Virat Kohli has now become the highest run-scorer in international white-ball formats, which include One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). His consistency, fitness, and determination have made him one of the most reliable batters in modern cricket.
According to official statistics, Kohli has scored 14,255 runs in 305 ODIs and 4,188 runs in 125 T20 Internationals. This brings his total to a staggering 18,443 runs — surpassing Tendulkar’s combined white-ball record of 18,436 runs. Tendulkar had accumulated 18,426 runs in ODIs and 10 runs in his only T20 International match.
Cricket fans and analysts worldwide have praised Kohli for his remarkable achievement, calling it a testament to his skill and longevity in the game. His ability to perform under pressure and adapt across formats continues to inspire young cricketers globally.
