The record that should have been achieved by batting; Couldn’t Dravid have at least given a match…

The T20 series of India’s tour of the West Indies has come to an end. India continues its winning streak in the Caribbean following winning the three-match series 2-1. India won the series by 200 runs in the series decider match held at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy yesterday.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli took to the field only in the first match of the series. Virat Kohli didn’t even get a chance to bat when Rohit Sharma was batting at number 7 in the first match.

When both of them were rested in the subsequent matches, Virat’s record went unrecorded.

The in-form Virat Kohli had a chance to become the second Indian player to reach 13,000 runs in ODIs in this series.

Virat currently has 12,892 runs to his name. Had Virat been able to add 102 more runs in this series, he might have achieved this feat.

Virat had a chance to become the first Indian player following Sachin Tendulkar to achieve this feat and the fifth player to cross the 13k mark, but he did not get the chance as he was unable to bat.

Virat Kohli would also become the first player to cross this mark among active cricketers. Rohit Sharma is the second highest run-scorer in ODIs among active cricketers.

Currently, Virat has scored 12,898 runs from 265 innings in 275 matches. Virat is accumulating runs at an average of 57.32 and a strike rate of 93.62.

Virat has scored 46 triples in ODIs and has scored 65 half-centuries. Virat has hit 1211 boundaries and 138 sixes in his career.

India will now play in the ODI format in the upcoming Asia Cup. Fans strongly believe that Virat will achieve this record in this tournament.
