By India captain Virat Kohli may not have scored a century since November 2019 but that hasn’t stopped him from breaking records and making significant contributions in India’s victories across formats. After becoming the fastest to score 10000 runs across formats on home soil in the 1st ODI against England, Kohli has multiple records and milestones in front of him in the 2nd ODI in Pune on Friday.
Kohli is only 41 runs away from going past former South Africa opener Graeme Smith in the list of most ODI runs by a captain. Kohli currently has 5376 runs in the 93 ODIs that he has played as a captain.
If he scores at least 41 in the 2nd ODI against England then he will rise to No.5 in the list overtaking Smith, who has scored 5416 runs in 150 ODIs as captain.
The No.1 in the list is former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting, who has amassed 8497 runs in his 234 ODIs as captain.
The Australia legend is followed by an India legend. MS Dhoni is at No.2 with 6641 runs in 200 ODIs as captain.
