Sachin Tendulkar, who was the first batsman to score 10,000 runs in ODIs had held the record of scoring them in the least number of innings (258) for the last 17 years. With Kohli achieving the milestone in just 204 innings, he has overdone the legendary batsman without a doubt.
Tendulkar took to his Twitter account to congratulate the Indian captain. In his congratulatory message, Tendulkar appreciated Kohli’s intensity and consistency, two facets which Kohli relies on heavily with the bat in hand. Read Tendulkar’s full tweet below:
The intensity and consistency with which you bat is just amazing. @imVkohli, congratulations on achieving 10,000 runs in ODIs. Keep the runs flowing. pic.twitter.com/tQUhY8bHna

To give you an idea of how much better Virat Kohli is than other great ODI players: him scoring 10,000 ODI runs in 205 innings—54 faster than the next best—is proportionately equivalent to breaking Usain Bolt’s 100m record by exactly 2.00 seconds (100m in 7.58 seconds). #INDvWI
