Virat Kohli has etched his name deeper into cricket folklore by becoming only the second batter in history to cross the monumental milestone of 15,000 ODI runs, joining his childhood idol Sachin Tendulkar in the ultimate club.

Achieving the feat during the opening ODI against the West Indies, Kohli reached the landmark in just his 303rd innings.

This breathtaking pace means he shattered Tendulkar's previous record by a staggering 74 innings, as Tendulkar had reached the milestone in 377 innings.

With 50-plus ODI centuries and an unparalleled mastery of run-chases, Kohli continues to rewrite record books.

This historic achievement cements his legacy not just as a modern-day icon, but as arguably the greatest ODI batter the game has ever witnessed, leaving fans and pundits in awe of his sustained brilliance.
