But that wasn't the only record that came Kohli's way on Friday. When he reached 56, he set the record for maximum runs by a captain in a bilateral ODI series. He overtook Australia's George Bailey who had made 478 runs in a six-ODI series against India in 2013/2014. 


South Africa's AB de Villiers occupied the next two places, first scoring 367 against Pakistan in 2012-13 before aggregating 358 against India in 2015-16. He was followed by New Zealand's Kane Williamson, who had scored 346 against Pakistan in 2014-15.


Kohli also became the fastest player to reach 9,500 ODI runs in terms of innings. He took 200 innings, 15 innings fewer than those of de Villiers. Sourav Ganguly (246), Sachin Tendulkar (247) and MS Dhoni (256) were the next names in the list.
