The Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram rose to life as Vir Kohli, once‑captain of India, stepped onto the crease after Rohit Sharma’s dismissal, setting the mood for a football‑like stand. The roar of the crowd, with chants of “Virat, Virat” echoing from the stands, signalled a much‑anticipated return of the superstar to the One‑Day International arena. A packed arena celebrated a 74‑run opening partnership with opener Shubman Gill, who took a single that sent the former captain into a groove and set the tone for a success‑laden run chase.[1]
Historic Milestone
The match itself was a showcase of record‑breaking cricket: with the run‑chase anchored by Vir Kohli’s 55th ODI century, he crossed the 15,000‑run plateau – the highest‐by‑anyworld‑wide number except for the famed Sachin Tendulkar. 15,000 runs in 182 innings placed him second behind Tendulkar on the all‑time ODI run‑scoring list, a milestone that reverberated across cricketing circles worldwide.[3][4]
