5 records which could make Virat Kohli the greatest ODI batsman of all time

In cricket, there have been many iconic players who have transformed the game and continue to transit it generation after generation. And the modern-day cricket has seen some of them as well.

In the modern day cricket, no batsman has been more successful than Virat Kohli across all formats. His run-scoring consistency has reached new heights, especially in 50-over cricket. For a player who has scored more than 10000 runs, he averages more than any other player in history.

But, to become the greatest ever to have played the game takes some achievement and even for a player of Virat Kohli's calibre, there are some feats that are difficult to achieve.

But, if Virat Kohli achieves these feats, then there is absolutely no doubt why he won't be celebrated the greatest ever to have played the game in the ODI format.

#5 Most number of boundaries

Sachin Tendulkar, the demigod, had scored a record 2016 fours in his mammoth career and he holds the record for most number of fours in world cricket. And at the same time sixer king Shahid Afridi holds the record for most number of sixes. He has hit a record 351 sixes and ensured he murdered bowling attacks all the time.

To say Virat Kohli is an aggressive batsman would be an understatement. In his astounding career so far Virat has gone past many records set by yesteryear legends and will be keen on continuing to do so in the future.

Virat Kohli has scored 967 fours and 114 sixes in his career which is terrific because he has only batted in 210 innings. But Virat Kohli who is on a run manufacturing spree would love to go past two feats that would ensure Indian team more victories.

If Virat Kohli goes past these two long-standing records in terms of a number of boundaries then it would mean he would add another feather in his cap.
