Kohli holds the record for the most centuries in ODI cricket (50), surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's 49. He is the fastest to reach 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, and 13,000 ODI runs. In the 2016 IPL season, he scored 973 runs, the highest by any player in a single season. He was the first Indian captain to win a Test series in Australia in 2018–19. His sustained excellence across formats earned him the ICC Cricketer of the Year award in back-to-back years, a rare feat that underscores his dominance during his peak.
