How far is Virat Kohli from Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record?

During the opening match of the series against West Indies at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on September 27, 2026, Virat Kohli accomplished two major milestones by crossing the 15,000-run threshold in ODIs and pushing his format-leading century total to 55. Having stepped away from Test duties in May 2025 and concluded his T20I career following the 2024 World Cup, the veteran batter now focuses solely on the 50-over format with the 2027 World Cup slated as his final global tournament.

Kohli currently sits at 15,080 runs across 303 innings, requiring another 3,346 runs to catch Sachin Tendulkar's ultimate ODI record of 18,426. Meanwhile, his broader pursuit of Tendulkar's benchmark of 100 international hundreds leaves him needing 14 more centuries, as he currently holds 86 overall.
