Virat Kohli is just 114 runs away from reaching the 14,000-run mark in ODIs
IND vs SL 3rd ODI: For the Indian team, the first two matches of the 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka were not at all as expected. While the Indian team came very close to winning the first match but ended it in a tie, they had to face defeat in the second match. The Indian team now has only one chance to end the series on a draw by winning the third match. In such a situation, all eyes are also on Virat Kohli, whose bat has not performed as expected in the first two matches of this series so far.
Kohli has a great record in ODIs against Sri Lanka in which he has scored 2632 runs in 53 innings at an average of 61.2 and during this time he has scored 10 centuries and 12 half-centuries. Kohli will also have a chance to break two big records in the third ODI match, in one of which he can also complete his 14000 ODI runs.
Kohli has a chance to become the fastest batsman to complete 14000 ODI runs
Virat Kohli has so far scored 24 and 14 runs in the first two matches of this three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In such a situation, everyone is expecting him to play a big innings in the third match. Kohli has been in form with the bat in this series so far but has not been able to play a big innings. If Kohli manages to score 113 runs in the third ODI to be played at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, then he will become the fastest player to reach this figure in the ODI format in international cricket. Till now this record is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar who completed 14000 runs in 350 innings, while Kumar Sangakkara is at second place with 378 innings. Kohli has so far scored 13886 runs in ODIs while batting in 282 innings.
Kohli has a chance to be a part of this club of Sachin and Ponting
Till now, there are only three players in world cricket who have achieved the feat of scoring 27000 or more runs in international format. Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Kumar Sangakkara are included in this. Virat Kohli is just 78 runs away from the figure of 27000 runs in all three formats of international cricket. In such a situation, Kohli will also have a chance to become a part of this special club in the third ODI match against Sri Lanka.
