Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is known for his penchant for breaking records. He touched another milestone in Mumbai this week.
Talismanic India batter Virat Kohli scripted history in the 2023 Cricket World Cup fixture against Sri Lanka in Mumbai as he broke Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing world record in ODIs on Thursday.
During his 88-run knock at the Wankhede Stadium, Kohli went past 1000 runs in the 50-over format in 2023. The Delhi-born cricketer needed 23 matches to reach the landmark this year.
This made him the first batter to score 1000 runs in a calendar year on eight different occasions in ODIs.
Previously, Kohli completed 1000 runs in a year in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Before India's No.3 batter, the record was held by Tendulkar, who had made over 1000 runs in a calendar year seven times during his illustrious career.
The seven instances of the God of Cricket's thousand-plus runs in a calendar year in ODIs came in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, and 2007.
