02.11.2023 - 11:25 sports.ndtv.com

Virat Kohli added another massive milestone to his already illustrious career as he went past the 1000-run mark in ODIs in 2023 on Thursday.

Kohli achieved the feat during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as the veteran India batter continued his brilliant run of form in the competition.

This was the eighth time that Kohli scored 1000+ runs in a calendar year and as a result, he broke the world record held by legendary India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar achieved the feat seven times during his legendary career in ODI cricket. Most times scoring 1000+ ODI runs in a calendar year 8 - Virat Kohli (2011-14, 2017-19, 2023)* 7 - Sachin Tendulkar (1994, 1996-98, 2000, 2003, 2007) Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis won the toss and elected to bowl first.

India Look At Young Guns To Take Their Legacy Forward After Cricket World Cup 2023 Heartbreak

An expressionless Virat Kohli gave a quick handshake and hug to an equally expressionless Shubman Gill before going to collect his runners-up medal. It was the most poignant moment of a teary Sunday night for the Indian cricket team. It, perhaps, was the most visible sign of the imminent generational shift in Indian cricket after the hosts failed to grasp a third World Cup. Of course, veterans such as Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami might be around for some more time, but now it is up to a younger crop to take the team forward and build a new legacy unscarred from the past failures. Gill (24), Shreyas Iyer (28), Ishan Kishan (25), Ruturaj Gaikwad (26) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (21) will soon, hopefully, be joined by a recovering Rishabh Pant (26) as India will hit the road to the T20 World Cup 2024 and beyond.

A scintillating century by Travis Head proved to be the point of difference as Australia beat India by seven wickets to clinch their sixth ICC Cricket World Cup title at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Australia have officially won a World Cup title in the decades of 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. For India, their decade-long wait for a major ICC Trophy continues as after overcoming the semifinal hurdle, they have lost in the final. In the chase of 241, Men in Blue started off with an expensive over by Jasprit Bumrah as he was smashed for 15 runs, including three fours. Also, a catch was missed on the first ball itself. But Virat Kohli, who had missed the catch in the first over, made up for his error as Mohammed Shami struck in his first over, removing David Warner for just seven. India was 16/1 in 1.1 overs.
