For all those who have been trying to troll Indian Skipper Virat Kohli, here’s a record that he has just reached. 

Virat Kohli became the fastest to reach 23,000 runs in international cricket. He achieved this feat during the ongoing India vs England test series at the Oval. 

Skipper Virat Kohli achieved this record during his 490th innings on day one of the fourth test matches against England.

Post that, the Indian Skipper was eventually dismissed by Ollie Robinson on 50. His 27th one in the test cricket format. 

Sachin Tendulkar is the leading run-getter in international cricket with 34,357 runs, followed by Kumar Sangakkara (28,016) and Ricky Ponting (27,483).

Kohli is number seven in the overall standings and is closing on Rahul Dravid’s record of 24208 runs.

There has been lots of speculation on Indian Skipper Virat Kohli’s form during the ongoing test match against England.

As his coach, Rajkumar Sharma spoke of how Virat would be doing well in the upcoming games! He has done it once again for team India. 

As team India positively looks to take on England, hoping that team India gets the desired results in the ongoing test match against England. Will be interesting to see how it goes!
