Brilliant century against West Indies

Recently, Virat Kohli batted brilliantly in the first ODI against West Indies and scored unbeaten 139 runs. India achieved the target of 296 runs by losing 2 wickets. With this victory, India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. This was Kohli's 55th century in ODI cricket and 86th century in international cricket.

Second batsman to complete 15 thousand ODI runs

During this match, Kohli also completed 15 thousand runs in ODI cricket. He became the second batsman in the world to do so. Before him, this achievement was only in the name of Sachin. He also left Tendulkar behind in terms of scoring the most runs in ODI cricket in India.

37-year-old Virat Kohli said, “For me, Sachin paaji will always be Sachin paaji. Mahendra Singh Dhoni will always be my first captain. This thing can never change in my mind for both of them. I have never considered myself a player who has achieved everything.

There never comes a point where I can say that that's it, I have done everything.”
