#2 Virat Kohli, 161 innings
It's no surprise that the Indian run-machine, Virat Kohli, ranks number 2 in this list. Virat Kohli needed just 161 innings to breach the 7000-run barrier. He reached this landmark in January 2016 playing against Australia at Melbourne.
Kohli currently has 9779 OD runs to his name at an astonishing average of 58 and looks like the only batsman capable of getting close to Sachin's tally of 18426 runs and 49 ODI tons.
