Virat Kohli Reaches 15,000 ODI Runs Against West Indies
Virat Kohli reached a very big milestone in one-day cricket.
He has now scored 15,000 runs in ODI matches.
The reports say only Sachin Tendulkar had reached that total before him.
Kohli reached the mark by hitting a four against Alzarri Joseph.
This happened during India’s match against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram.
India was chasing a target of 296 runs.
India won the match by eight wickets.
One report says Kohli made an unbeaten 139, while other reports describe him completing his 80th ODI half-century in the innings.
The reports therefore differ on some details, but agree on the 15,000-run milestone.
Virat Kohli became the second batter after Sachin Tendulkar to reach 15,000 ODI runs.
He reached the milestone during India’s opening ODI against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
Kohli completed the mark with a four off Alzarri Joseph toward midwicket.
Reports say he scored either an unbeaten 139 or an 80th ODI half-century, reflecting differing accounts of the innings.
India defeated the West Indies by eight wickets while chasing 296, with Shubman Gill also scoring a century.
