As Virat Kohli gets ready to take on England in the opening ODI at Nagpur, he would be on the cusp of a massive landmark. At Nagpur, Kohli would have an opportunity to become the fastest individual batter to 14,000 ODI runs. He currently needs 94 runs to get there. He has the opportunity of edging the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in this regard. Tendulkar holds the current record for the fastest to 14,000 ODI runs. Tendulkar set the record in his 350th ODI innings during a match against arch-rivals Pakistan in Peshawar. Tendulkar scored 100 in that game. Kohli currently has 13906 runs to his name from 283 ODI. He has a realistic chance of getting to the landmark at Nagpur itself.
