Virat Kohli vs Sachin Tendulkar: The titans of the 10000 runs club

Both hit tons in the game where they completed 10000 ODI runs

Another striking similarity is that both Kohli and Tendulkar hit hundreds in the same game in which they completed 10,000 runs (they are in fact the only two of the 13 batsmen to do so). While Kohli remained unbeaten on 157 in the game against the Windies in Vishakhapatnam, Tendulkar had scored 139 off 125 balls against Australia in the match in Indore.

Like the current five-ODI series between India and Windies, that was also a five-ODI series between India and Australia. However, while India failed to win the match in case of Kohli (it ended in a tie), Sourav Ganguly-led Team India thrashed Australia by 118 runs in the match in which Tendulkar scored his 10,000th ODI run. Both the batsmen were, however, chosen as the man of the match on the respective occasions.
