3. Virat Kohli: 1258, From 22 Oct 2017 to 1 April 2021
Virat Kohli’s standards can be measured from the fact that anything below 100 is seen as a failure for him. Since 2008, he has shocked the world with his amazing performances. Talk about his Hobart innings or 183 against Pakistan, we have witnessed a modern-day giant who has dominated world cricket for a decade. Virat Kohli is arguably the best batsman on this list.
Initially, it was difficult for Kohli to get into the national squad. With many veterans in the playing eleven, one had to possess unique talent to make a name for himself. And it was Virat Kohli this time. Kohli was a part of the national squad that managed to win the World Cup in 2011. And since then, he has handled the team’s pressure excellently.
In 254 ODIs, Kohli has scored 12169 runs so far. And with an excellent average of 59.07, he dominates the bowlers every time. An excellent strike rate of 93.17 showcases his ability to accelerate. Because of his immense talent and hard work, Kohli was the number one batsman for 1258 days.
