Virat Kohli tops 12,000 ODI runs in victory over Australia

India captain Virat Kohli scored 63 runs and became the fastest player to surpass 12,000 runs in one-day internationals as the visitors beat Australia by 13 runs on Wednesday in the last of three ODI matches at Manuka Oval, The Associated Press reported.

India, which lost the first two matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground, scored 302-5 and bowled Australia out for 289 with three balls remaining.

Kohli became the fastest player to the 12,000 ODI career runs when he tapped Abbott to mid-off and took a quick single.

Kohli achieved the feat in his 242nd innings, 59 innings quicker than Sachin Tendulkar.

The now-retired Tendulkar has the highest number of ODI runs with 18,426.

The teams meet again in Canberra on Friday in the first of three Twenty20 matches, followed by T20s in Sydney on Sunday and next Tuesday, also at the SCG, The Associated Press reported..
