Chris Gayle wishes his good friend Virat Kohli on achieving another milestone

The Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is in the form of his life at the moment. Kohli notched up his 37th ODI ton during the second ODI against the Windies of the ongoing 5-match ODI series. En route his unbeaten ton, he also scaled to 10000 runs in ODI cricket. The good wishes came in flooding for him from all corners. One of his good friends, Chris Gayle, did not waste much time before wishing Kohli on this stupendous feat.

Having reached the 10000 run mark in just 205 innings, Virat Kohli became the fastest to reach the milestone number. Also, it is worth noting that Kohli took just 11 innings to reach the 10000 mark from the 9000 mark. Chris Gayle looked absolutely pleased to see Kohli reach the milestone. The two cricketers share great camaraderie between them.

Despite the departure from the franchise, there seems to be no love lost between the two players. As per the video posted by CricketNext, Chris Gayle congratulated Virat Kohli on having achieved this distinction. He also wished more success for the Indian captain in the days to come. He noted that the hard work always pays off and Kohli is a testimonial of the same.

I must say well done, it is a great achievement and I continue to wish him more success. This shows that what all hard work and dedication can get you, what rewards it can get you. I am sure a lot of people will follow his footsteps, in India and around the world,” Chris Gayle quoted.
