In Australia’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, the former skipper Virat Kohli was in outstanding form. With a strike rate of around 145 in four innings, he has pounded out 220 runs. He has three half-centuries to his credit and hasn’t lost any matches in that time.

The two greatest batters India has ever produced are Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. The Master Blaster played for India in 200 Tests, 463 ODIs, and one T20I while representing his country, scoring 34,357 international runs overall — the most by any hitter in the annals of international cricket. When it comes to Kohli, he has played 102 Tests and amassed 24,350 runs in international competition 113 T20Is, and 262 ODIs.

Given his desire for more runs, remarkable talent, and determination, it has frequently been projected that Kohli will surpass most of the records held by Tendulkar.

We examine some enormous milestones set by Tendulkar that the present-day run machine has already surpassed as he turns 34.

The majority of foreign-country runs are performed by Indians

Kohli surpassed Tendulkar to become the Indian batsman with the highest international runs in a foreign country with his performance of 64* off 44 balls against Bangladesh in Team India’s T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 match in Adelaide.

After the Indian batter’s game-winning inning on Wednesday, November 2, he has scored 3350 international runs in Australia across all formats.

Tendulkar finished his career with 3300 international runs in Australia because he also enjoyed playing there.

According to Kohli’s 3350 runs in Australia, 1352 of them or an average of 54.08 and six hundred came in just 13 Test matches.

Additionally, the right-handed hitter has 1327 runs at an average of 51.03 with five hundred in 29 ODIs.

Indian Batsman who has scored the most runs in away ODIs.

Kohli collected 51 points off of 63 balls in India’s opening ODI of their tour to South Africa earlier this year. The Men in Blue, who were chasing 297, were defeated by the Proteas by 31 runs, therefore their effort was in vain.

Nevertheless, the veteran hitter broke another Tendulkar record during his half-century. He passed the Mumbai master to become the Indian player with the most runs scored away from home in ODIs.

Most quickly to 12,000 ODI runs

Tendulkar amassed 5065 runs at an average of 37.24 in 147 away ODIs, including 12 hundreds and 24 fifties. In 112 away ODIs, Kohli has amassed 5206 runs at an average of 56.58, breaking Tendulkar’s previous record. He also has 20 hundreds and 25 fifty-sixes.

India’s tour of Australia in 2020–21 saw Virat Kohli become the quickest player to 12,000 ODI runs in the third game of the three-match series. The former Indian skipper scored 63 runs off 78 balls while smacking five fours.

The talented player scored 12,000 ODI runs in his 242nd game, throughout the course of his innings. Ponting (314), Sangakkara (336), and Sanath Jayasuriya all needed exactly 300 innings to reach that milestone before Tendulkar (379).
