Team India’s premier batsman Virat Kohli has already created many milestones in international cricket. The star batsman is once again set to create history. Kohli has the opportunity to reach yet another milestone in the upcoming edition of Asia Cup 2023.
Kohli needs 102 more runs to complete 13,000 ODI runs and join the elite list with the likes of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and former Australian great Ricky Ponting.
If Kohli manages to score 102 runs in the mega event, he will become the fifth international and second Indian batter to reach this milestone.
Sachin, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting, and Sanath Jayasuriya are the only other batters to reach this milestone. Apart from that, Kohli will also have the opportunity to become the fastest batter to reach this milestone. He will be surpassing Sachin in the process.
Currently, the record is held by legendary Tendulkar who reached the milestone in 321 innings. Virat has around 55 more innings to break this record.
After a well deserved break, Kohli will return to action for India in Asia Cup 2023 to be co-hosted by both Pakistan and Sri Lanka from August 30 to September 17. India will lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in the group stage on September 2.
