‘King’ Kohli becomes sixth and fastest batter to score 25,000 runs across formats, beats Tendulkar

The Hindu  

Virat Kohli added another feather in his cap on Sunday as he became the sixth and the fastest batter in the world to score 25,000 runs across formats during the second Test against Australia, which India won by six wickets, in New Delhi. Kohli achieved the feat when he reached 8 during India's run chase of 115 as he flicked Nathan Lyon for a boundary in the 12th over in the second innings. And heartiest congratulations to @imVkohli on becoming the fastest to get to 25000 international runs," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in his tweet to congratulate the team for winning the Tests. The other stalwarts to have scored more than 25,000 runs across formats are Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar, Sri Lankans Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, Australian Ricky Ponting and South African Jacques Kallis.
