Virat Kohli is arguably the greatest batsmen to have ever played ODI cricket and stats don’t repudiate his greatness. Kohli will lead the team Indian onto the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in the first ODI against Australia on November 27 and he is just 133 runs away from achieving a surreal feat of 12,000 ODI runs. He will be the only sixth batsman to score as many runs in ODI cricket while the first batsmen to reach the milestone before playing 300 ODI matches.
Kohli has been phenomenal across formats of the game but in ODIs, his record is unmatchable. He is just six centuries away from Sachin Tendulkar's record of most number of ODI centuries and has been at the top of his game throughout the last decade.
Team India will miss his services after the first Test in the upcoming four-match Test series due to start on December 17 in Adelaide. Kohli will return home to be with his wife Anushka Sharma at the expected time of delivery of their first child. He had applied for paternity leave which was approved by the BCCI.
