Virat Kohli reached the 15,000‑run milestone in One Day International cricket as India defeated the West Indies by eight wickets in the opening match of the series.
The Indian captain finished not out on 139 from 88 balls, a brisk knock that helped the hosts build a comfortable total and chase down the West Indian target with ease.
India’s batting lineup, anchored by Kohli’s century, dominated the West Indies side, and the team secured an eight‑wicket victory in the first ODI of the series.
The match was played in India, where the hosts were keen to start the series on a high note after a strong performance in the previous Test matches.
With this landmark achievement, Kohli joins a select group of cricketers who have surpassed 15,000 ODI runs, underscoring his status as one of the most prolific batsmen in the format.
