King Kohli smashes record for fastest to 11,000 ODI runs

India captain's record-breaking career hits a new high in his team's World Cup clash against Pakistan

India captain Virat Kohli has become the fastest batsman ever to score 11,000 one-day international runs.

Kohli couldn’t have asked for a bigger stage on which to reach the milestone, bringing it up during his team’s blockbuster World Cup group stage match against Pakistan at Old Trafford.

Coming to the crease with his team already in an enviable position at 1-136 after a strong start from openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul – having been sent in to bat by Pakistan captain Safaraz Ahmed – Kohli required 57 runs to break Sachin Tendulkar's record.
