Virat Kohli becomes second batter to reach 15,000 ODI runs as India crushes West Indies

Monday, 28 September 2026, 06:10 · 1 min read

Virat Kohli has become only the second cricketer in history — after India legend Sachin Tendulkar — to score 15,000 runs in men's one-day international (ODI) cricket, reaching the milestone during a dominant eight-wicket victory over West Indies in the first match of a three-match series. Kohli finished unbeaten on 139 off 88 balls, sharing a 151-run partnership with Shubman Gill (110), as India chased down a target of 296 with 50 balls to spare. The achievement comes days after Kohli, 36, announced he will retire from international cricket following the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup, having already stepped away from Test and T20 international cricket.
