When Sunil Gavaskar scored 10K international runs, everyone thought no one can beat it.
Then came Sachin Tendulkar. Once again everyone thought, ye record nahi tutenge.
Then came Virat Kohli.
Who knows the next genius might be watching this match right now.#KingKohli— PhD in Bakchodi (@Atheist_Krishna) October 24, 2018
Virat Kohli is the fastest to 10,000 runs in ODIs in terms of balls faced (10,813) as well as innings batted (205).
He has broken Sanath Jayasuriya’s record who completed 10K runs off 11,296 balls and Sachin Tendulkar who did it in 259 innings. #KingKohli
