You know what’s funny? A few years ago, people said he was finished. They said the reflexes were slowing down. Well, look at him now.
Virat Kohli just walked out in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, wearing that nostalgic Delhi kit, and casually rewrote history. He has smashed past 16,000 runs in List A cricket. Let that number sink in for a second. 16,000.
Most cricketers dream of scoring 10k and retiring. Kohli is sitting at 16k and looks like he is just warming up.
Chasing the "God" (One More Time)
Who else is on this list? Just one name. Sachin Tendulkar. That’s it. That’s the list. When you are the only person standing next to Sachin Paaji in a record book, you don't need to prove anything to anyone. Becoming the second Indian ever to touch this milestone isn't just a stat; it’s a statement.
It shows that formats don't matter. Jersey colors don't matter. Give him a bat, and he will score runs.
The "Delhi Boy" Vibes
Seeing Virat in that Delhi state jersey? Man, it hits different. We are so used to the India Blue or the RCB Red. But watching him grind it out in domestic cricket feels like a throwback to 2008. The photo of him raising the bat with that "16000" graphic?. That is going straight onto millions of wallpapers today.
It’s not just about the runs; it’s the commitment. He could have rested. He could have skipped the Vijay Hazare Trophy. But no, the King wanted game time. He wanted to dominate.
Why This Record is Insane
For the casual fans asking "What is List A?": It covers all official 50-over matches—ODIs and top-level domestic games. To get to 16,000, you have to be consistent for 15+ years. You have to survive injuries, bad form, and thousands of balls. Kohli hasn't just survived; he has ruled.
Bottom Line: Enjoy Him While You Can
We spend too much time fighting over "Who is the GOAT?" Forget the debate. Just watch the man play. Records are meant to be broken, but the hunger Virat Kohli has? That is rare. That is special.
He is 37+, he has won everything, yet he is celebrating a domestic milestone like it’s a World Cup final. That is why he is the King.
