Virat Kohli continues to rewrite history with his exceptional performances, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. In the 3rd ODI against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Kohli scored a composed 52 off 55 balls, marking his 73rd ODI half-century. His innings, studded with 7 fours and 1 six, wasn’t just a showcase of his class but also a historic moment in international cricket.

Fastest to 16,000 Runs in Asia

Kohli's fifty in this match made him the fastest batsman to reach 16,000 international runs in Asia, a record that further solidifies his dominance in the subcontinent. This milestone adds to his long list of achievements, proving why he is regarded as one of the best modern-day cricketers.

First Indian to Score 4,000 Runs Against England

With this innings, Kohli also became the first Indian batsman to score 4,000 international runs against England across all formats. His consistency against top cricketing nations such as Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand highlights his ability to perform under pressure on the biggest stages.

Battle with Adil Rashid Continues

Despite his fluent innings, Kohli was once again dismissed by England’s leg-spinner Adil Rashid, marking the 11th time Rashid has dismissed him. The rivalry between the two continues to be a fascinating aspect of their encounters, with Rashid proving to be a key challenge for Kohli in limited-overs cricket.

A Confidence Boost Before Champions Trophy 2025

With the Champions Trophy 2025 on the horizon, this performance serves as a much-needed confidence booster for Kohli, who has been seeking consistency in white-ball cricket. His ability to anchor the innings while maintaining a healthy strike rate is crucial for India’s middle order in upcoming tournaments.

Kohli’s Legacy as an All-Time Great

From his debut in 2008 to becoming one of the most prolific run-scorers in the history of the game, Kohli’s journey has been nothing short of legendary. His mental toughness, adaptability, and hunger for runs continue to set him apart from his contemporaries. As he prepares for the upcoming ICC events, fans and analysts eagerly anticipate more such record-breaking performances from the Indian stalwart.
