Virat Kohli and his many records in ODI cricket

Virat Kohli has established a record for the highest individual innings by a captain at the Asia Cup, surpassing the 135 not out by Sourav Ganguly vs Bangladesh at Dhaka on May 30, 2000.

Virat Kohli became the first batsman to post three hundreds in India-Bangladesh ODIs.

Virat Kohli is the first batsman to record five hundreds in ODIs in Bangladesh - his tally being 868 at an average of 124.00.

Virat Kohli has a total of 28 ODI hundreds in chases, breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record of 17. He also surpassed Tendulkar's record for most tons in successful chases.

Virat Kohli took just 124 innings to reach 19 hundreds in ODIs - a record for this feat, outstripping Chris Gayle's feat of reaching the landmark in 189 innings.

Virat Kohli has hit the fastest ODI century by an Indian cricketer (in 52 balls).

Virat Kohli also set the record for the fastest batsman to 8,000 runs in ODIs in June 2017.
