Virat Kohli became only the second batter after Sachin Tendulkar to reach 15,000 ODI runs, getting there with an unbeaten 139 off 88 balls — his 86th international hundred — as India beat West Indies by eight wickets in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.
India chased 296 with 50 balls to spare: Shubman Gill hit 110, his tenth ODI century, in a 151-run stand with Kohli; West Indies had made 295, led by Justin Greaves's maiden ODI hundred and Amir Jangoo's 58, with Kuldeep Yadav taking 4 for 40.
India lead the three-match series 1–0, with the second ODI in Rajkot on Wednesday, September 30. Kohli told broadcaster JioStar on Saturday that the 2027 World Cup will be his last for India.
