During India’s thumping win over Bangladesh in the second semi-final of ICC Champions Trophy 2017, captain Virat Kohli became the fastest and the second youngest batsman to reach to 8000 ODI runs.
Kohli reached the milestone in his 175th innings, after his unbeaten knock of 96 in the semi-final clash against Bangladesh at Edgbaston. He bettered AB de Villiers record, who had taken 182 innings and 10 years 205 days.
Now, his team is just one victory away to be the Champions of CT17, and Kohli admits Pakistan is a tough opponent to beat.
“I am very impressed with Pakistan. What a superb tournament has been for them. They have shown their belief as a team and it will be challenging for us,” said Kohli on Pakistan.
