#1 2500 International runs in three consecutive years
2500 calendar runs in three consecutive years!!! I really have no words to describe, how big an achievement is that. There have been only 72 instances of batsmen scoring over 2000 runs in a calendar year.
Virat is the only cricketer ever to achieve this milestone out of the 4000+ cricketers to have graced this wonderful game. It is just a testimonial to his sheer hard work, temperament, hunger to succeed and be the best in the world.
Virat scored 2595 International runs at a combined average of 86.50 in 2016 with seven hundreds and 13 fifties. He bettered his own performance in 2017 scoring 2818 International runs at an average of 68.73 with 11 centuries.
In 2018, Virat has already completed 2513 runs in 2018 and has two more Test matches to go in Australia. The world record for most runs in a year is held by Kumar Sangakkara with 2868 runs and it won't be difficult for Kohli to break this record as he needs another 356 runs and he has another four innings to go in this year.
