Virat Kohli, who is considered a great batsman of Indian cricket, has once again proved his ability. According to the latest data of 2026, he has once again strengthened his position as the world number 1 batsman in the ODI rankings. This is a clear example of his continued success and dedication to the game.

Let us tell you, Kohli’s passion for batting and desire to play at the highest level did not diminish at all with time, while many changes took place on the cricket field. Over the last decade, Kohli has proved that he is not only the best batsman in modern cricket but also one of the most outstanding performers in the history of cricket.

Let us tell you, his reign started in 2013, when he achieved the number 1 position in the ODI rankings for the first time, leaving behind legendary players like AB de Villiers, Kumar Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan. In 2017, even when batsmen like David Warner and Joe Root struggled, Kohli maintained his ranking. In 2019, when the competition became even tougher, Kohli maintained his position, beating batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Faf du Plessis.

Let us tell you, even in 2021, when batsmen like Babar Azam, Aaron Finch and Jonny Bairstow challenged, Kohli maintained his dominance. Now in 2026, when young and talented batsmen like Shubman Gill, Daryl Mitchell and Shreyas Iyer are playing, Kohli has again overtaken them all and achieved the No. 1 rank. This is a clear testament to his consistency and his commitment to cricket.

At the same time, Kohli’s figures also testify to his greatness. Recently he completed 28000 international runs in the first ODI against New Zealand and became the highest run scorer after Sachin Tendulkar. Even in ODI cricket, he holds the record for scoring the most runs against New Zealand.

Kohli has many more records which show his contribution to cricket. His consistency and high performances earn him a special place in the history of cricket.
