IND vs WI, 2nd ODI: Kohli Breaks Miandad's 26-Year-Old ODI Record Against West Indies

Kohli needed 19 runs before the start of the second ODI against the West Indies here to surpass Miandad's tally of 1,930 runs

India captain Virat Kohli reached yet another milestone on Sunday during the 2^nd ODI against West Indies at Port of Spain, Trinidad. The 30-year-old surpassed former Pakistan great Javed Miandad to become the highest run-scorer against the West Indies in ODI cricket. Kohli needed 19 runs before the start of the second ODI against the West Indies here to surpass Miandad's tally of 1,930 runs against the two-time World Cup winners. Miandad had played his last ODI against the Windies in 1993. Miandad took 64 innings to reach his tally while Kohli has taken just 34 innings to surpass that.

Player	Matches	Innings	Runs
Virat Kohli	34	34	1962*
Javed Miandad	64	64	1930
Mark Waugh	47	45	1702
Jacques Kallis	40	40	1666

At the time of filing of this report, Kohli had brought up his 55th ODI half-century and was batting on 50. He requires 27 more runs to overtake former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly's run tally of 11,363 to become India's second-highest run-getter in ODI cricket. Earlier, India won the toss and chose to bat first. Opener Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed by Oshane Thomas off the third ball of the first over and so Kohli was put in to bat early. He and Rohit Sharma have since taken control of the innings as India surpassed the 50-run mark in the 10th over.
