Virat Kohli becomes fastest batter to 27000 international runs

Sachin is followed by Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (28,016 runs) and Australia's Ricky Ponting at third (27,483 runs).

Virat's innings consisted of four boundaries and a six as the 37-year-old looked to be back in form and helped India produce an aggressive spell in their innings.

Still not finished with his career, Kohli has more than 8,800 runs in Tests, 13,906 runs in 295 ODIs, and another 4,188 runs in 125 T20Is. He has only retired from the T20 format after India won the T20 World Cup 2024 earlier this year. India’s talisman is still a long way from matching Sachin's record, as the former cricketer scored 15,921 runs in 200 Tests, the most for any batter so far.
