The batsman became the fastest player to reach 15,000 runs in men's ODI cricket, joining the prestigious club alongside the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli achieved the milestone in just 46 balls, coming off the bat in his 303rd ODI innings, a feat four times quicker than Tendulkar, who achieved the same milestone in his 377th innings. Kohli's achievement adds to his impressive list of ODI records, with his 13,000 ODI runs coming in just 267 innings, surpassing Tendulkar's previous record of 321 innings. The milestone was celebrated by Kohli with a respectful gesture towards Tendulkar and a standing ovation from the enthusiastic Thiruvananthapuram crowd.",
