Virat Kohli surpassed Sri Lanka's legend Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run-getter in men's international cricket. Kohli, during his innings in the ongoing IND vs NZ 1st ODI 2026, went past Sangakkara's tally of 28,016 international runs when the former took a single to reach 43 runs in the 20th over.  Former India legend Sachin Tendulkar leads the batting charts for most men's international runs with 34,357 runs, which is still far from Kohli's reach. In 557 matches, Kohli has 28,018 runs, which include 81 hundreds and 145 half-centuries. Virat Kohli Becomes Quickest To Complete 28000 International Runs, Ace India Batter Achieves Feat During IND vs NZ 1st ODI 2026.
