Kohli Breaks Tendulkar's Record, Powers India to Historic ODI Win Over Pakistan

Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket legend, continues to etch his name in the annals of the sport, surpassing yet another milestone held by the iconic Sachin Tendulkar. On September 11, 2023, Kohli led India to a resounding 228-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup encounter at Colombo (RPS), breaking Tendulkar's record for the most ODI runs against Pakistan.

Kohli and KL Rahul forged a formidable partnership of 233 runs, propelling India to a mammoth 356/2. Kohli remained unbeaten on 122*, reaching the milestone of 13,000 ODI runs in just 267 innings, a feat that Tendulkar had achieved in 321 innings. This marked Kohli's 47th ODI century and his 77th international hundred.

Pakistan's batsmen struggled to cope with India's bowling attack, managing only 128 runs in reply. Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav shone with an exceptional performance, taking five wickets for just 25 runs.

Kohli's record-breaking innings and India's emphatic victory over Pakistan have further cemented his status as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. He is now within striking distance of several other records held by Tendulkar, including the most ODI runs and centuries.

Kohli's relentless pursuit of excellence and his ability to perform under pressure have made him a role model for aspiring cricketers worldwide. His achievements serve as a testament to his hard work, dedication, and unwavering determination.
