Five milestones Virat Kohli will reach in the next five years

#2 1000+ ODI runs in a calendar year most number of times

Kohli crossed 1000 ODI runs in a calendar year for the 5th time, in 2017

Scoring 1000 ODI runs in a calendar year is not a simple task. It needs consistency and skill. Only a handful of cricketers have achieved this feat.

Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring 1000+ runs in a calendar year the most number of times. He has done it seven times in his career between 1994 and 2007. The current Indian captain has done it five times already (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2017) and only Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting are ahead of him.

Kohli is the only cricketer after former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly to score 1000+ runs four years in a row. The Indian captain is only 29 and needs three more good years to break Sachin's long-standing record.

Given his consistency and hunger, this will be a walk in the park for the Delhi lad. He may even end up with a lot more than seven. Very impressive indeed.
