India captain Virat Kohli and his deputy Rohit Sharma were on a record-breaking spree in the third and final one-day international against Australia at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday. Kohli became the fastest to 5,000 runs in ODI cricket as captain of a side.

The swashbuckling batsman arrived at the feat with a sumptuous shot past cover for four off Mitchell Starc. Kohli has gone past MS Dhoni, who got to the milestone in 127 innings while Kohli has done it in just 82.
