Virat Kohli shatters Sachin Tendulkar's record, scores 27000 international runs in less than 600 innings
Indian star batsman Virat Kohli's dominance in world cricket continues since he shattered Sachin Tendulkar's record to become the first batsman to reach 27,000 international runs.
He achieved the feat during the ongoing second Test match between India and Bangladesh.
While Sachin completed the record by playing 623 innings, Virat reached the landmark in his 594th innings.
He is the only batsman in the world to reach 27000 international runs by playing under 600 innings.
Former Sri Lankan star Kumar Sangakkara achieved the mark in 648 innings while Australian legend Ricky Ponting did it in 650 innings.
In his bright career with the willow, Virat has now scored 27,012 international runs.
He retired from T20 format earlier this year after India won the World Cup in West Indies.
India is currently playing a home series against Bangladesh.
The hosts are 1-0 up in the series.
