runs and he got there with a push to long-on off Ashley Nurse in the 37th over

ODI hundred, fifth this year and the 37th of his career to celebrate his entry
into the 10000 run club in the 50 over format. This is the seventh time Kohli

323 with ease against West Indies in Guwahati. He had scored three hundreds in
the six matches ODI series. He then scored two half centuries in three ODIs in
England before taking a break from the Asia Cup.

Tests and ODIs much like 2017. At the start of the year, he scored 871 runs
across all three formats on the tour of South AfriaKohli returned to ODI
cricket with a bang and smashed 140 in Guwahati before leading from the front
