Virat Kohli on verge of becoming 1st player in the World to notch this towering record in ODI series vs England

India's batting maestro Virat Kohli is cusp of clocking yet another milestone in the upcoming ODI series against England which is set to start from February 6.

Virat Kohli, who has been experiencing a dip in form recently, will have the upcoming ODI series against England to regain his touch before the major ICC tournament. The star batter also has the opportunity to become the first player in the world to achieve a big milestone.

A successful series for Virat Kohli could lead to him breaking numerous ODI records.  If he manages three scores of fifty or more (including centuries) in the three-match series, he will become the first player globally to achieve 60 such scores in ODIs at home.  Currently, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record with 58 fifty-plus scores at home (38 fifties and 20 centuries), followed closely by Kohli with 57 (33 fifties and 24 centuries).

Virat Kohli also has the opportunity to become the fastest player to reach 14,000 ODI runs.  Currently, only Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara have achieved this milestone, reaching it in 350 and 378 innings, respectively. Kohli needs just 94 more runs to join this exclusive club, and he has played considerably fewer innings (283) than both legends.

Virat Kohli has the chance to become the highest ODI run-scorer against England.  He currently has 1340 runs from 36 innings, averaging 41.87. He needs 293 more runs to surpass Chris Gayle and claim the record.
