Kohli Gill Created History Against West Indies in 1st ODI. King Kohli captain Virat Kohli and current skipper Shubman Gill produced a historic partnership as India secured a commanding eight-wicket victory over West Indies in the first ODI at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Chasing a target of 296, Kohli became the fastest batter in cricket history to cross 15,000 ODI runs, reaching the landmark in his 303rd innings. The achievement places Kohli alongside Sachin Tendulkar as only the second player in ODI history to pass the milestone, beating Tendulkar’s record of 377 innings by a margin of 74 innings.

Composing a captain’s knock during the 296-run chase, Shubman Gill smashed his 10th ODI century off 96 balls, finishing on 110 off 108 deliveries. Gill reached the milestone by striking a boundary off West Indies pacer Jayden Seals, making him the fastest Indian batter to score 10 ODI centuries in just 67 innings. His effort surpassed former opener Shikhar Dhawan’s previous Indian record of 77 innings and equaled MS Dhoni’s career tally of 10 ODI centuries. (India vs West Indies Scorecard)
