Virat Kohli On Verge Of Overtaking Ricky Ponting In Elite List, Targets Sachin Tendulkar's Records

Virat Kohli announced his return to form with a gritty century against Australia in the final Test match in Ahmedabad and the star India batsman will be eyeing multiple records as the two teams face each other in the first ODI in Mumbai on Friday. Kohli is just three hundreds behind Sachin Tendulkar (49) and a great show in the series can mean that he will inch closer to scoring the highest number of hundreds in the format. The ex-India skipper also need 191 runs to complete 13,000 runs in ODIs and become the fifth cricketer ever after Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasurya to achieve the feat. That is not all as Kohli is also very close to beating Ponting to go second in the list of batsmen who have the highest number of runs at home – a list also currently headed by Sachin Tendulkar.
