Virat Kohli of Team India continues to smash records, reaching another milestone by scoring 27000 runs in international cricket and being the fastest player to do so.
The 35-year-old cricketer achieved the milestone in his 535th match (594 innings).
Notable Batsmen with Over 27,000 Runs in International Cricket:
| Batsman | Total Runs |
|---|---|
| Sachin Tendulkar | 34,357 |
| Kumar Sangakkara | 28,016 |
| Ricky Ponting | 27,483 |
After playing in 114 Tests, 295 ODIs and 125 T20Is, Kohli has been one of India’s finest batters across all formats and also established himself as one of the biggest batting forces in the world.

Time and again, many have questioned Kohli’s abilities through the years. From his strike-rate issues in T20Is to his poor form in Tests, the main man has gone on to prove his doubters wrong by performing where it counts.
Now the batter will see himself among three other legendary names and many would hope that he can peak once again to possibly topple his predecessors and set a new template for years to come.
India’s Batting Blitzkrieg in Kanpur
With two day’s worth of play being washed out at Kanpur, Team India is looking to force a result in the ongoing Test against Bangladesh. Keeping the World Test Championship (WTC) qualification as the top priority, the side has decided to go all-out against the Bangladesh bowling attack.
Rohit Sharma set the tone by smashing two sixes off his first two deliveries while Jaz-ball was in full flow with Jaiswal smashing a quickfire knock of 72 off 51.
Kohli being the team player also chipped in with a handy fifty but was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan soon after. A highlight during the innings was the mix-up between him and Rishabh Pant which saw luck favouring the Indian side as the Bangladesh bowler was not able to hit the stumps.
However, Team India has already established the lead on Day 4 and will most likely bat through the day, hoping that the bowlers can finish the job on the final day and secure an innings victory to strengthen their prospects of entering the WTC finals for the third consecutive season.
