Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli added another record to his already illustrious career as he became the fastest player to reach 27000 international runs during Day 4 of the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur on Monday.

Kohli shattered legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar's record (623 innings) as he was able to achieve the feat in just 594 innings.

As a result, Kohli became the only cricketer ever to finish 27000 international runs in under 600 innings. The other players who have achieved this feat are former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting and Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara.

India now lead by 52 runs. Earlier, Bangladesh were bundled out for 233 in their first innings. Jaiswal (72 off 52 balls) and Rahul (68 off 43 balls) powered India's innings with belligerent knocks.
