Virat Kohli's Quest to Surpass Cricket Legends

Virat Kohli is on a mission to surpass cricket legends, with former skipper Ricky Ponting believing Kohli can achieve this if he stays motivated. Kohli recently clocked over 14,000 ODI runs, trailing behind Tendulkar and Sangakkara. The challenge for Kohli is immense but achievable.

Former Australian cricket captain, Ricky Ponting, expresses confidence in Virat Kohli's ability to surpass the records of cricket legends, despite trailing Sachin Tendulkar by more than 4,000 runs in One-Day Internationals.

Kohli, having surpassed Ponting's 13,704-run tally, is aiming for Kumar Sangakkara's record next, needing just 150 more runs. With an unbeaten century, Kohli recently pushed his total past 14,000 during India's Champions Trophy win over Pakistan.

While surpassing Tendulkar's 18,426-run record is a herculean task, Ponting believes Kohli's physical fitness and relentless drive could propel him to become the all-time leading scorer, should his hunger for the game persist.
