Delhi: Indian cricket team veteran batsman Virat Kohli has made tremendous preparations for a big match against Pakistan on Sunday, 23 February. He first practiced in the nets of the ICC Academy and fully prepared himself for this high-voltage match in Dubai. This match will not only be special for Virat Kohli and his fans, but an important world record in it will also be on his target.
In fact, Kohli has scored 13,985 runs in ODI International so far, as soon as he will complete 15 runs in this match against Pakistan, he will become the fastest batsman to score 14,000 runs in ODIs. This will be the 299th ODI match of his career. In this way, he will become the first cricketer in the world to complete 14,000 runs in less than 300 matches and will break the record of India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar in this matter.
So far, only two batsmen have been able to touch the 14,000 runs in ODI cricket – Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara. Sachin achieved this position in 350 innings of 359 matches, while Sangakkara achieved this position in 378 innings of 402 matches. Virat Kohli can achieve this feat from Sachin 60 matches and 51 innings in advance.
There is a possibility that Sachin can also reach Dubai to see this match. If this happens and Virat scored 15 runs in this match, then it would be a special coincidence, because when he completed 50 centuries in ODIs, Sachin Tendulkar was still present in the Stadium. Now it will be interesting to see whether Virat Kohli is able to reach this historical stage or not! Kohli will expect a great innings against Pakistan.
