Kohli set to create massive record
As the first player to play 300 ODIs, 100 Test matches, and 100 T20Is, Virat Kohli is poised to break a new world record. Virat has participated in 125 T20Is, 123 Test matches, and 299 ODIs. In 2008, he played his first ODI match against Sri Lanka. In 2010, Virat solidified his place in the starting lineup, and he has not looked back since.
In 2012, Virat assumed leadership of India, and in 2013, he made his debut as an ODI captain. In January 2017, he took MS Dhoni's place as India's white-ball captain. In 2011, Virat played his first Test match against the West Indies.
After his first series, he was dropped, and when he returned, he didn't get a chance upon his return. Virat cemented his place in the playing XI with his performances in the final two Australia Test matches in 2011–12. In 2014–15, Virat took over as India's Test captain. He guided the squad to 40 victories from 68 games and ended his tenure as India's most successful Test captain.
Virat is still having a great season and recently reached the 14,000-run mark, the fastest. He surpassed the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara. In 299 ODIs, Virat has amassed 14085 runs. His stats also record 51 ODI centuries.
