While the world thinks Virat Kohli is slowing down, he just spent 2025 quietly shattering 'untouchable' records that almost nobody noticed. Let's see those 5 records which went unnoticed
In December 2025, Kohli became the fastest player in history to reach 16,000 List-A runs. He achieved this in just 330 innings, beating Sachin Tendulkar’s previous world record (391 innings) by a staggering 61 innings.
Kohli became the first player in IPL history to hit 1,000 combined boundaries (721 fours and 279 sixes). While others are known for raw power, Kohli is the first to reach this through pure clinical consistency.
During the 2025 series against South Africa, Kohli became only the second player ever (after Sachin) to cross 14,500 ODI runs. He also extended his world record for the most centuries in a single format, reaching 53 ODI tons.
By scoring 657 runs in IPL 2025, Kohli became the only player in history to score 500+ runs in eight different IPL seasons, officially surpassing David Warner (who has 7).
Kohli became the first batter in IPL history to score 1,000+ runs against four different franchises: Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders. No other player has dominated that many specific teams for so long.
