Virat Kohli has officially dethroned Sachin Tendulkar from the top of the mountain to become the highest run-scorer in the history of white-ball cricket - both T20Is and ODIs combined.
In the first ODI at Perth Stadium, Virat Kohli got out for a duck while trying to play a drive outside off-stump off Mitchell Starc, and ended up edging it to Cooper Connolly.
As Kohli was found in front of the stumps, the umpire instantly raised a finger, and after a lengthy chat with Rohit Sharma, he decided to walk off the field. It was the very first time in his 304-match ODI career that Kohli got out for ducks in two consecutive games.
Kohli scored 74* runs off 81 balls, with 7 fours, and was involved in a match-winning 168-run stand in 170 balls with Rohit Sharma.
