After getting married in December last year, the tour of South Africa has indeed been a honeymoon period for Kohli. He’s scored runs in abundance and after scoring greatly in the test series he only got better in the ODI series. The 6 Match ODI series which India won 5-1 saw a flurry of runs coming from Virat Kohli’s bat.
Kohli very close to leapfrogging Don Bradman
Virat Kohli is a legend at the age of just 29 and he’s surpassed almost all legends with his skills. Now Virat Kohli has a great chance to go past Sir Don Bradman in terms of most runs on a single tour. As of now Virat Kohli has scored 870 runs from 13 innings on this long tour of South Africa.
Now the Indian Skipper just need 104 runs more to go past Don Bradman’s record tally. Don Bradman scores 974 runs against England back in 1930 and Virat Kohli needs to get 104 in the ongoing T20 series to go past him.
Virat Kohli is scoring centuries after centuries like a king and there’s no stopping him. Having scored three handsome tons in the ODI series that just concluded, Kohli now has 35 ODI centuries.
In the 6th ODI which Indian again won convincingly, Virat Kohli reached another milestone. Virat Kohli is now the fastest batsman ever to get to 17000 ODI runs.
Now when he’s just 14 ODI centuries behind Sachin Tendulkar, everyone is asking if he’d be able to surpass the great little master. Sachin with 49 ODI hundreds holds the record for maximum ODI tons. After just 208 matches, Virat Kohli is already redefining consistency, performance and fitness.
