[ad_1]
Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli has achieved another achievement in his career. He has broken the record of Sachin Tendulkar. Virat completed 1000 runs in this calendar year in the World Cup match against Sri Lanka.
This is the eighth time that Virat has scored 1000 or more runs in a calendar year. Sachin Tendulkar has scored 1000 or more runs in a calendar year at least seven times. Virat has broken Sachin’s record.
Most times 1000+ ODI runs in a calendar year
8 – Virat Kohli (2011-14, 2017-19, 2023)*
7 – Sachin Tendulkar (1994, 1996-98, 2000, 2003, 2007)
Tendulkar had scored more than 1000 runs in ODI cricket in the years 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2007. Whereas Kohli achieved this feat in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2023.
Virat Kohli missed out on equaling another record of Sachin on Thursday. He was out after scoring 86 runs. Today the audience was hopeful that Virat would score his 49th ODI century and equal Sachin’s record.
Sri Lankan captain Kusal Mendis won the toss and decided to bowl first. India had a bad start and Rohit Sharma was out early. But after that Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli improved India’s innings.
There was a partnership of more than 150 runs between the two. While Kohli hit 11 fours to score 88 runs, Shubman Gill scored 92 runs with the help of 11 fours and 2 sixes in 92 balls.
The Indian cricket team is so far undefeated in this tournament. With six wins in six matches, India is at second place in the points table. While Sri Lanka has been struggling, winning only two of its six matches.
Sri Lankan captain Kusal said after the toss that we will bowl first. I think the pitch will be better for batting in the second half. Everyone has performed their best in the last few matches. Hopefully they continue to do so even today.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who is leading India for the first time in a World Cup match at his childhood ground, said that our fast bowlers will get good support under the lights. It’s a great moment to lead a team. It is important for us not to get influenced by our performance. No changes have been made in the team.
