Virat Kohli became the sixth Indian and the fastest to complete 9000 ODI runs during the series-deciding game against New Zealand on Sunday. Kohli reaches to the landmark in the 37th over. He went on to score his 32nd ODI century off 96 balls and eventually got out on 113 runs. His 106-ball knock was studded with nine fours and a six. Mahendra Singh Dhoni had reached the milestone last year while other Indians who have done so are Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and Mohammad Azharuddin.
Overall, Kohli, who played his 202nd match and 194th innings on Sunday, has become the 19th batsman to breach the 9000-run mark, making him the fastest to get there. Earlier in the series, the Indian captain had surpassed Australian great Ricky Ponting in the list of most ODI hundreds with his 31st ton.
