As Team India’s captain Virat Kohli made magnificent match winning 92 in the second ODI at Eden Gardens against Australia, he put himself in a league of Legendary Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.

During the match, Kohli became only the third Indian batsman to score 10,000 runs across formats in matches India have won. Kohli, with his innings of 92, joined Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid in this elite club.

Kohli has contributed 10,059 runs in India’s wins across formats. He follows Tendulkar (17,113 runs) and Dravid (10,860 runs) in this exclusive list. Kohli, however, has taken a mere 179 matches and 193 innings to achieve the feat.
