Written by Vipin Darwade

Virat Kohli on Saturday added another record to his already illustrious list during the fourth ODI against South Africa in Johannesburg as he entered the list of top five run-getters for India in ODIs. Kohli, who scored a brilliant 75 runs against the Proteas, surpassed former captain Mohammad Azharuddin, who has 9,378 ODI runs to his name. The 29-year-old also surpassed West Indies’ Chris Gayle, who has 9,420 runs under his belt.

Kohli is now the fifth Indian and 16th overall in the highest run-getters list with 9,423 runs in 206 matches.

Legendary Sachin Tendulkar is on top of the list with a mountain-like 18,426 runs. The batting legend is followed by Sourav Ganguly (11,363), Rahul Dravid (10,889) and MS Dhoni (9,954) at number two, three and four respectively.
