Virat Kohli's 38th birthday, 38 stats: The King, the records and a legacy like no other

As Virat Kohli celebrates his 38th birthday, the cricketing world reflects on a career defined by unparalleled consistency and record-breaking achievements across all formats. Since leading the Indian side to victory in the 2008 Under-19 World Cup, he has amassed numerous milestones, including 55 ODI centuries and the fastest progression to 10,000 runs in that format.

His dominance is particularly evident in successful run chases, where he has accumulated 8,741 runs and 30 centuries. Beyond his ODI success, Kohli holds the record for the most runs in T20 World Cup history with 1,292, alongside the highest individual tally in a single tournament edition.

Looking ahead, he remains focused on securing another ODI World Cup title in 2027 to add to his 2011 triumph.
