Virat Kohli is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in ODI history, known for his technical mastery, chase expertise, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
Debuting in 2008, Kohli rose to prominence as a middle-order anchor before becoming India's captain, leading them to multiple ICC triumphs including the 2011 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy. He holds the record for the most ODI centuries (51 as of 2025) and is the fastest to 14,000 ODI runs, achieved in just 287 innings during the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Kohli is set to return to the 50-over format for India in the upcoming Australia ODIs. The India star has retired in Tests and T20Is, but is set to continue wearing the national colours in the ODI format.
