Twitter goes berserk after Virat Kohli's 10,000 ODI runs milestone

NEW DELHI: India skipper Virat Kohli created yet another record by becoming the fastest batsman to reach 10,000 one-day international runs, making history in his 205th innings against the West Indies in the second ODI of the five-match series at Visakhapatnam.
The 29-year-old batsman went past fellow Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar, who first crossed the 10,000-run mark in 259 innings in 2001.Kohli, who was playing his 213th ODI, took a single off spinner Ashley Nurse to reach the milestone.
Besides Kohli and Tendulkar (18,426), the other Indian batters to achieve the feat are former skippers Sourav Ganguly (11,363), Rahul Dravid (10,889) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who reached the milestone in July earlier this year.
Kohli did not stop there and went on to score his 37th ODI hundred - his successive ton in the series - and remained unbeaten on 157 off 129 balls laced with 13 fours and four sixes.
Currently the world's No.1 batsman in both the Test and one-day formats, Kohli has a mind boggling record at the Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium with scores of 118, 117, 99 and 65 before this innings.
Soon after reaching the milestone, Twitter went berserk as the tributes started pouring in for the batsman from the former players of the cricketing fraternity.
