Virat Kohli had the opportunity in the West Indies series but missed out on the record by just four runs. He will have the record in sight when India take on South Africa at home after the IPL 2022.
However, if Virat Kohli gets there, he will be the fastest amongst all. He is the only batsman in Top 10 highest-scorers to have a 50+ average. His closest rival in terms of consistency is Pakistan captain Babar Azam who has averaged 45.17 in 73 matches.
