5 Records that could be broken in 2019

#1 Fastest to score 20,000 international runs

Virat Kohli set to break the 13-year old record

A total of 11 players have scored more than 20000 runs in international cricket. However, the fastest players to reach the mark are Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara who did it in 453 innings. Interestingly, Lara (372) took fewer matches than Sachin (402) to achieve the feat.

Nonetheless, after almost 13 years, the record of fastest 20,000 international runs is under scare as Virat Kohli is racing at speed faster than a bullet train to breach the 20000-run mark in international cricket. The current Indian captain has scored 18989 international runs from 398 innings and will be needing 1011 more runs from 52 innings in the year 2019 to break the record.

Let's bring the perspective into the numbers. The Delhite scored 2735 runs from 47 innings in the year 2018. Thus the very task of scoring 1011 runs from 52 innings will not prove to be an arduous one for Kohli in the year 2019 pending his current form.
