India star Virat Kohli created history after he walked onto the Greenfield International Stadium pitch for the first ODI against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. By taking his spot in India’s playing XI, Kohli officially broke former captain Mohammad Azharuddin’s long-standing 28-year-old record to become India’s most-capped player in One-Day Internationals against the West Indies.
The match marks Kohli’s 44th ODI appearance against West Indies, taking him past Azharuddin’s tally of 43 ODIs – a benchmark set between 1985 and 1998 that stood untouched for nearly three decades.
