1000 runs in a calendar year for record 6th time

The Indian skipper, during his knock of unbeaten 157, surpassed 1000 ODI runs in a calendar year for the 6th time. Kohli took only 11 innings to get to the milestone, which is also the quickest in any calendar year. Previously, Kohli has scored 1000 ODI runs in a calendar year in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017.

Saurav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and Kumar Sangakkara have also recorded 1000 ODI runs in a calendar year six times. Only Sachin Tendulkar has registered the landmark on more occasions – 7 instances.
