1. Cricket: Kohli Surpasses Sangakkara to Hit 2nd All-Time Spot
History was made last night! During India’s thrilling 4-wicket victory over New Zealand in the 1st ODI at Vadodara, Virat Kohli officially became the second-highest run-scorer in international cricket history.
According to Starexch live tracking, Kohli’s masterclass 93 took his total to 28,068 runs, moving him past Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara. He now trails only Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli’s innings, supported by Shubman Gill’s 56 and KL Rahul’s winning six, gave India a 1-0 series lead.
