WATCH: Virat Kohli breaks Sachin's 17-year-old record, becomes fastest to 10,000 ODI runs

Virat has now become the fastest batsman in the world to score 10,000 runs in One-Day International cricket

Indian skipper Virat Kohli wrote the newest chapter in the history book of ODI cricket during the second ODI against West Indies in Vishakhapatnam on Wednesday. Smashing the 17-year-old record of former Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, Virat has now become the fastest batsman in the world to score 10,000 runs in One-Day International cricket.

Kohli reached this feat in the 205^th innings of his career which came in his 213^th ODI outing for India. Sachin, who did this marvel in his 259^th innings (266^th match) now stands second on the list followed by former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly (263 innings), Ricky Ponting (266 innings) and Jacques Kallis (272 innings).

Here's how Kohli reached that unique milestone:

The Indian skipper has now become the 5^th Indian cricketer and 13^th in the world to go past the 10,000-run mark. Apart from the two above-mentioned Indian legends, there are Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni in the club who took 273 and 287 innings respectively to reach this feat.

Kohli got to 1000 runs in one-day cricket after 24 innings. And since then, there was no looking back for one of the greatest batsmen of the country as he just moved ahead with time and surpassed every possible batting record.

Innings taken to each milestone by Kohli:

Milestone	Number of innings
1000 Runs	24
2000 Runs	53
3000 Runs	75
4000 Runs	93
5000 Runs	114
6000 Runs	136
7000 Runs	161
8000 Runs	175
9000 Runs	194
10,000 Runs	205

Kohli continued his sublime in the 2^nd ODI as well. After he played a terrific 140-run knock in Guwahati, he talked louder with the bat in Vizag. He was batting on 81when he got those 10k runs against his name.
