Kohli, already 14,941 runs in 314 ODIs, is chasing history with his eyes on the 15,000‑run club.
In 303rd innings, he would eclipse Sachin Tendulkar’s 15,000‑run record by 74 overs, becoming the quickest to the milestone.
West Indies have been a favourite haunt for the former captain, with 2,261 runs in 43 matches and an average of 66.50. His nine centuries and 11 fifties against them signal a potent threat.
On home turf, Kohli sits just 110 runs short of Tendulkar’s 6,976 ODI runs in India, having already amassed 6,867 runs in 130 matches at 62.42 average. A swift finish could see him claim the home‑runs record.
India’s next test comes in the second ODI on Sunday, where Kohli’s chase will decide the series rhythm.
