Kohli has been in prolific form throughout the World Cup. His consistency has been surreal as he only failed to get past the fifty score twice. Furthermore, he also notched up five consecutive fifty-plus scores, including a century against New Zealand in the semifinal and a half-century against Australia in the final.
Among all the records galore, Virat Kohli also surpassed the record of the highest-ever runs tally by a batter in the single edition of an ODI World Cup. The King has overtaken the record of Sachin Tendulkar of 673 runs set in the 2003 edition.
Virat looked in prolific form right from the beginning as he played a match-winning knock against Australia in the opening game. He only grew from there to stay consistent. In fact, the King missed out on a couple of centuries as well as he got out for 95 against New Zealand in the league game and for 88 against Sri Lanka.
Even then, Virat Kohli managed to cross the three-figure mark thrice in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. After such an outstanding performance in the mega event, Virat Kohli has elevated his status as the GOAT in the ODI cricket.
