During the third ODI between India and New Zealand, Indian captain Virat Kohli became the fastest to 9,000 ODI runs. In the process, the 28-year-old batsman broke the record that South Africa's AB de Villiers claimed earlier in the year, against the same opponents. He got to the milestone in his 194th ODI innings, which is 11 innings fewer than what his Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate took to reach the milestone.

That is not the only world record that he broke during his innings. Rahul Dravid previously held the record for being the quickest to get to 9,000 runs from ODI debut and was also the only player to have got to the mark within a decade of their debut. However, Kohli broke Dravid's record of 9 years and 322 days and also became only the second player to have breached the mark inside a decade from their ODI debut.

AB de Villiers claimed the record in 2017, coincidentally also against New Zealand, breaking the record of 228 innings set by Sourav Ganguly, which stood for over 13 years. However, his record didn't even last a year as Kohli not only broke the record but also became the first batsman to breach the 9,000 mark inside 200 ODI innings.
Five Indian batsmen feature in the list of top ten quickest to 9,000 ODI runs, which is the most for any country. South Africa have two players while Australia, West Indies and Pakistan all have one player each.
