Concerns about Virat’s recent form across all cricket formats were prevalent leading up to the Champions Trophy. Following a disappointing Test series in Australia, Virat displayed signs of regaining his form during the ODI series against England. However, it wasn’t enough to completely silence critics.
After a slow start in India’s Champions Trophy opening match against Bangladesh, where he scored 22 runs off 38 balls, Virat’s anticipated return to form materialized in the crucial game against Pakistan in Dubai.
The atmosphere echoed his memorable T20 World Cup 2022 performance in Melbourne against Pakistan. With a decisive hit, Virat secured the winning runs, celebrated his 51st ODI century, and achieved the record of being the fastest player to reach 14,000 ODI runs.
In his 299 ODIs, Virat has accumulated 14,085 runs with an impressive average of 58.20 and a strike rate of 93.41. His record includes 51 centuries and 73 half-centuries, with a highest score of 193.
Throughout his remarkable career, Virat Kohli has consistently broken records. He holds the record for being the fastest to reach 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, 13,000, and 14,000 runs in ODI cricket.
