Virat Kohli's 5 world records that will never be broken in ODIs
Virat Kohli might have retired from Tests and T20Is but he is still the best in the ODIs. He has scored a plethora of runs in the format and also holds numerous world records. Here are five of those world records in ODIs that will never be broken
Virat Kohli has so far smacked 51 centuries in ODI cricket for India, the most by any player in the world. The next best batter in this aspect is Rohit Sharma, who has only 32 tons, while Babar Azam is next on the list with only 19 centuries. It is very unlikely that any other player will ever notch up 50 centuries in ODI cricket in the near future.

Virat Kohli played many matches against Sri Lanka during the early part of his career. He was always in brilliant form against them and has so far notched up 10 centuries against them. This is the world record of scoring the most hundreds against one team in the format. Kohli has also scored nine and eight tons against the West Indies and Australia, respectively.

Virat Kohli is the fastest to 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000 and 14000 runs in ODI cricket. With the advent of the T20 format and its popularity, it is unlikely that any player will ever touch the 14000-run milestone in their career. Kohli reached 14000 runs in ODIs in just 287 innings and this record is unlikely to be broken ever.

Virat Kohli is called the 'Chase Master' for a reason. The man has notched up 28 out of his 51 centuries while chasing and 24 of those have come in winning causes. He has amassed 8064 runs so far at an average in run-chases for India and the next best among active players is again Rohit Sharma with 16 centuries.

Virat Kohli's century means a sure shot win for India in ODIs. Yes, Kohli's 43 out of 51 centuries in ODIs have come in winning causes for India and the man is way ahead of even Sachin Tendulkar in this aspect, whose 33 tons won the matches for the country. Among active players, Rohit Sharma is next with 25 centuries. Kohli's 43 centuries in winning cause record is unlikely to be broken ever again in ODI cricket.
