Kohli on mount 12 000 he still has a long journey to becoming the greatest
Indian cricket skipper Virat Kohli has just become the fastest batsman to 12,000 runs in ODIs. He has taken only 242 innings to reach the milestone, 58 fewer than former record holder — the great Sachin Tendulkar. The latter, in fact, had held the record for 17 years, something that only goes to highlight Kohli’s incredible prowess in breaking that record now. If Kohli continues to play at this level, there is little doubt he will break all of Tendulkar’s records by the time he hangs up his boots.However, that’s still a steep mountain to climb given that Kohli today is playing even more cricket than Tendulkar did in his prime. With the advent of T20 and IPL, the cricket calendar is incredibly busy. This is bound to take a bigger toll on a cricketer’s fitness and form. That Kohli has handled the pressure so well leading India in all formats shows he is indeed a supreme athlete.
However, he is still human and all that pressure may catch up with him at some point. Which is why it is good for him to take occasional breaks and come back refreshed. In this regard, Kohli’s decision to take paternity leave for the birth of his first child is indeed welcome. Not only does it set a good example for fathers everywhere in being there for their spouses during childbirth and sharing childcare responsibilities, but also gives Kohli time to reboot himself. This is precisely what is needed if he is to be the greatest of all time.
