Former Indian captain Virat Kohli is about to cross a career milestone in the Asia Cup. Virat has the record of being the player who completes 13,000 runs in ODIs. Virat can achieve this dream if he scores just 102 more runs.
If Virat crosses the 13,000-run mark in the coming matches, he can become the fifth player and the second Indian player to achieve this feat.
Currently, Virat has 12,898 runs from 265 innings in 275 matches. Virat scored runs at an average of 57.32 and a strike rate of 93.62. His highest ODI score was 183 against Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup.
Virat has 46 centuries and 65 fifties in ODIs. Virat has scored 1,211 boundaries in the 50 over format and scored 138 runs through sixes.
Along with reaching the 13k club, Virat also holds the record of becoming the fastest player to achieve this feat. Another fact is that even if Virat scores 102 runs in the next 55 matches, he can achieve this feat.
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar topped this list with 13,000 runs from 321 matches.
Fastest players to complete 13,000 runs in ODIs
(In order of Player – Country – Innings played to complete 13,000 runs – Year completed 13,000 runs – Opponents)

Kumar Sangakkara – Sri Lanka – 363 – 2014 – England

Like Sachin Tendulkar’s century (141) against Pakistan, fans strongly believe that Virat will make this record by scoring a century against Pakistan in the Asia Cup.
Meanwhile, India’s first match in the Asia Cup is on September 2. India will face Pakistan in the match at Pallekale Stadium in Kandy.
