5 records which could make Virat Kohli the greatest ODI batsman of all time

#2 Most number of the runs in the World Cup

Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar has set the bar for future batsmen so high that only few can reach him and Virat Kohli is certainly one of them. Sachin was used to set new records with every innings of his.

In his entire career, Sachin played six World Cups and as always remains sits at the apex of highest run scorers in the World Cup history. Sachin had played 45 World Cup matches in which he amassed 2278 runs at a magnificent average of 56.95. And he also holds the record for being the player with most number of World Cup hundreds. He has scored a total of six centuries and 15 half-centuries.

Virat Kohli, aged 30, has managed to play in two 50-over World Cups but to be fair for a player of Virat Kohli's calibre he has underperformed in both of them. He has only managed to score 587 runs at a decent average of 41.92. He has two centuries against his name.

Assuming that Virat Kohli will play another two World Cups at a minimum and if manages to go past Tendulkar's record then surely it would mean India would perform better and might clinch the silverware as well.
