Virat Kohli has become the sixth Indian and the fastest to complete 9000 ODI runs during the series-deciding third game against New Zealand on Sunday. Kohli got to the landmark in the 37th over when he guided one off Grandhomme towards the third man for a four. He went on to score his 32nd ODI century off 96 balls and eventually got out on 113. His 106-ball knock was studded with nine fours and a six.
The milestone was reached by Mahendra Singh Dhone last years, and other Indians to score the same so far are Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and Mohammad Azharuddin. Kohli has become the 19th batsman to breach the 9000-run mark. Earlier in the series, he had surpassed Australian Ricky Ponting in the list of most ODI hundreds with his 31st ton.
