Delhi: Veteran batsman of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli recently took another big record against Pakistan and made another big record. In this match played in the Champions Trophy, he scored an unbeaten 100 runs and overtook Australian legend Ricky Ponting. Kohli has now become the third player to score the most runs in international cricket. Beyond him, only India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka are.
What did Ponting say about Kohli?
Ricky Ponting reacted to Kohli’s achievement and said during a conversation in the ICC review, “I don’t think I have seen a better player than Virat Kohli in the 50 -over format. Now that he has overtaken me and only two players are ahead of him, I am confident that he will try my best to become the highest run -scorer in this format. ”
Kohli has now scored 14,085 runs and is 4,341 runs behind Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs). Kohli is 36 years old and he has limited time left to break this record. However, Ponting believes that it is not impossible for Kohli.
Can Sachin’s record break?
Ricky Ponting said, “Virat Kohli is physically fit as before and he works very hard on every aspect of his game. When you think that he has been doing well for so many years, yet 4000 runs are behind Sachin, then it tells how great batsmen Sachin was and how long they played. But a player like Virat should never take lightly. If they still have a hunger to score runs, I cannot say that he cannot break Tendulkar’s record. “
