First, fastest, highest: Kohli rewrites record books

The 5000 runs came in 105th innings, which is the fourth fastest among the Indian batsmen after Sunil Gavaskar (95 innings), Virender Sehwag (98 innings) and Sachin Tendulkar (103 innings).

Kohli now has 2681 runs in 2017. He bettered Rahul Dravid’s feat of 2626 runs in 1999.

Fastest 50 & 100: His century off 110 balls and the half-century off 52 balls were his individual fastest landmarks in this format.
