Kohli Joins Tendulkar in Elite 16,000 List A Runs Club
Virat Kohli has added yet another monumental chapter to his remarkable cricket journey, crossing the historic 16,000-run mark in List A cricket. With this achievement, he becomes only the second Indian in history to reach the milestone, standing alongside none other than Sachin Tendulkar. The feat came during a Vijay Hazare Trophy match, making it even more special as it happened on India’s domestic stage rather than an international fixture.
Kohli’s consistency in limited-overs cricket has been one of the defining features of modern-day cricket. From international ODIs to domestic List A games, his hunger for runs and relentless determination have kept him at the forefront of the sport. Reaching 16,000 runs in this format is not merely a statistical achievement; it reflects longevity, mental toughness, discipline, and extraordinary batting quality sustained over years.
What makes this milestone even more significant is the elite company Kohli joins. Sachin Tendulkar, widely regarded as the greatest batsman in cricket history, was the first Indian to cross the mark. For Kohli to now stand beside him underlines his legacy as one of the finest batsmen India has produced. Fans and analysts have long discussed Kohli’s place in cricketing greatness, and milestones like this strengthen his case beyond debate.
The Vijay Hazare Trophy appearance also highlighted Kohli’s commitment to domestic cricket and the value he places on contributing at every level. It sent a strong message to young cricketers about respecting domestic tournaments and valuing every opportunity to perform.
As Kohli continues to rewrite records, Indian cricket supporters know this journey is far from over. With his fitness, passion, and form still intact, more milestones are waiting — and cricket lovers will be watching every moment closely.
