Team India captain and run machine Virat Kohli can become the fastest 12 thousand run getter in the three-match ODI series against Australia and break the record of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.
The Indian captain is just 133 runs short of the 12,000-run mark in ODIs and could become the fastest batsman to reach the milestone, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record if he manages to score those runs in the upcoming three-match series against South Africa in India.
Kohli has scored 11,967 in 239 innings in his ODI career and is on course to break Tendulkar’s record comfortably. Tendulkar needed 300 innings to reach 12,000 runs in the 50-over format.
Australian great Ricky Ponting is next on the list, needing 314 innings to score 12,000 runs while Kumar Sangakkara is third having reached the mark in 336 innings.
