Kohli Becomes First Batter to Score 13,000 ODI Runs at Number Three

Virat Kohli has become the first batter in ODI history to score 13,000 runs while batting at number three, reaching the landmark during India's first ODI against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland.

Kohli needed 12 runs to reach the mark and brought it up with the 13th ball of his innings, early in India's chase, with former Australia captain Ricky Ponting next on the all-time list at the position with 12,662 runs.

Kohli went on to top-score with 74 as India beat New Zealand by five wickets under the revised target to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
