Kohli Needs 19 Runs More To Break Javed Miandad's 26-Year-Old Record

In the T20I series that preceded the ODIs, Kohli was India's highest scorer with 106 runs under his belt

Indian captain Virat Kohli is just 19 runs away from overtaking Pakistan great Javed Miandad as the highest run-scorer against West Indies in ODI cricket. Miandad played his last ODI against the Windies in 1993 and so Kohli will be breaking a 26-year-old record if he manages to hit 19 runs in the upcoming second ODI in Port of Spain. Miandad took 64 innings to score 1930 runs against the West Indies and if Kohli manages to surpass him in the second ODI, he will have taken just 34 innings to do so. The Indian captain did not get to bat in the first ODI of the series as West Indies had batted first and only 13 overs could be bowled before the rain in Providence ensured that the match was washed out.
Player Matches Innings Runs
Javed Miandad 64 64 1930
Virat Kohli 33 33 1912
Mark Waugh 47 45 1702
Jacques Kallis 40 40 1666
Rameez Raja 53 53 1624
In the T20I series that preceded the ODIs, Kohli was India's highest scorer with 106 runs under his belt. He was the second-highest run-scorer in the series overall behind Kieron Pollard who scored 115 runs. India won the series 3-0. The first match of the series was washed out due to rain in Guyana and both teams will be looking to draw the first blood in this clash in Trinidad. The last match of the three-match series will also be played at this series. Following the conclusion of the ODI series, the two teams will feature in two Tests in Antigua and Jamaica.
