5 ODI records that were broken in 2018

#4 Virat Kohli’s record of 558 runs in a bilateral series

Kohli was on a roll to make a mockery of the numbers

I doubt if there would be an adjective that would precisely describe the current form Virat Kohli is in. It has been onwards and upwards for him and he has made the most out of it.

India played South Africa earlier this year for 6 ODIs, 3 Tests and 3 T20Is. After losing the series 2-1, India bounced back in ODIs, as they defeated the Proteas 5-1. Virat Kohli, who was captaining the side, was phenomenal with the bat, and the South African bowling attack was made to work hard to remove his wicket each time.

The scores of Kohli in 6 ODIs read 112, 46, 160, 75, 36 and 129 which exemplifies his dominance and excellence in batting. With 558 runs in the series, Kohli became the highest scorer in bilateral series which was previously held by his teammate Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma had hit 491 runs in 6 games against Australia in 2013-14 series.
