Virat Kohli Sets Multiple Batting Records During Second ODI Against EnglandPreviousNext

In the second ODI against England at Sophia Gardens, Virat Kohli achieved multiple significant milestones. He became the highest run-scorer for India in England across all formats, surpassing Rahul Dravid's 2,645 runs. Kohli also broke Kumar Sangakkara's world record for most ODI runs scored at opposition home grounds, reaching 5,519 runs. Additionally, he equaled Viv Richards' tally of 14 ODI half-centuries against England and surpassed Sachin Tendulkar's record for most 50-plus scores by an Indian against England. Despite his efforts, India were bowled out for 233, with England's bowling proving effective.
