He thus becomes the fourth man on the planet to have achieved this milestone, which puts him together with the legends Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, and Ricky Ponting. Kohli is on top of the all-time list, unlike the other three who follow in his footsteps with 34,357 runs, 28,016 runs by Sangakkara, and 27,483 runs by Ponting.

The bottom line is Kohli's display of skill and consistency, as proven by the fact that he has become the fastest player to hit 27,000 international runs. This was achieved in a mere 594 innings, putting him ahead of Tendulkar, who took 623 innings to do so. Compare that with Sangakkara at 648 innings and Ponting at 650.
