Virat Kohli, the former captain of the Indian cricket team is once again ready to return to the field. After winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title, Kohli took a break of a few days. During this time he went to London. However, earlier such reports were coming that Kohli would not even go on the Sri Lanka tour. He had announced his retirement from T20 International, but he will continue to play Test and ODI. Meanwhile, when Virat Kohli will take the field to play the ODI series against Sri Lanka, he will have another big record in his sights.

Virat Kohli Can Create Another Milestone in Sri Lanka, will come close to Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara

The highest run scorer in ODI cricket is Sachin Tendulkar of India at the moment. He has scored a total of 18426 runs in 463 ODI matches during his career. After this, Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka is at number two. He has scored 14234 runs in 404 ODI matches in his ODI career. At number three is Virat Kohli of India at the moment, who has scored 13848 runs in 292 matches so far. That means he needs just 152 runs from here to complete 14 thousand runs in this format. Since the series is of three matches and Kohli will play all the matches, it will not be difficult for him to reach this figure. However, the effort should be that he touches this figure in the very first match.

Opportunity to leave Kumar Sangakkara behind too

Virat Kohli has taken 280 innings of 292 matches to reach here. During this, he has scored 50 centuries and 72 half-centuries. 50 centuries are the most in ODI cricket. He broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in the ODI World Cup 2023 itself. Not only this, Kohli can complete his 14 thousand runs during this series, he can also become the highest run-scorer in this format after Sachin, Kumar Sangakkara currently has 14234 runs to his name. However, for this he will have to play big innings in every match. Kohli will take the field for the first time after the World Cup, so it will be interesting to see how he bats.
