Virat Kohli becomes fastest to reach 15,000 ODI runs in 1st ODI vs West Indies

During the opening fixture against the West Indies at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, India began a pursuit of a 296-run target with strong performances from its top-order batters. Virat Kohli reached a historic milestone by becoming the fastest player to accumulate 15,000 ODI runs, accomplishing the feat in 303 innings to surpass the previous record held by Sachin Tendulkar.

Alongside him, Shubman Gill contributed significantly to the chase by securing his 22nd century after surviving an early dropped catch at 11 runs. The pair established a 139-run partnership for the second wicket following an initial 74-run opening stand between Gill and Rohit Sharma, who was dismissed after contributing 32 runs and setting a new mark for runs by an opener.
