Virat Kohli, the star batsman for the Indian team, appears with pace in all formats of cricket but has a different dominance in ODI cricket. Kohli has scored two consecutive centuries in the last two ODIs of his. He scored an innings of 113 runs in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. This was the highest score for the team in that match. Now, in the next two matches against Sri Lanka, Kohli can break former West Indies veteran batsman Brian Lara’s record by becoming the team’s top scorer.
Brian Lara scored a total of 70 top scores for his team in career ODI cricket. On the other hand, King Kohli has achieved a total of 69 high scores for India in his ODI career so far. He can break this Brian Lara record by scoring the highest score in the next two matches against Sri Lanka. From the way he has started his new year with a century, it looks like he can easily be the top scorer in the next two games. The second match against Sri Lanka will be played on January 12 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata and the third match on January 15 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
Sachin Tendulkar is at number one in terms of achieving the highest score most times in ODIs for any team. He has achieved the highest score for the Indian team in ODIs a total of 129 times. Other than this, Sanath Jayasuriya is at number two by getting top score 84 times, Kumar Sangakkara at number three by getting top score 82 times, Jacques Kallis at number four by getting top score 79 times, Brian Lara in number five by getting the top score 70 times and Virat Kohli at number 69.
