Virat Kohli has been hailed as Sachin Tendulkar's successor for quite a while now. But the man seems intent on carving out his own legacy.

Yes, Kohli is going at a brisk pace where he is threatening to overhaul Sachin's record of most ODI runs and hundreds.
Just look at the numbers - 7306 runs in 165 innings at 51.81. At this rate he should break the record of most runs with around 100 innings to spare.?

Also with 25 tons to his credit he could double it and create a new record in less than 350 innings.?
Now would that not be something to remember?
However, the journey is long. Form won't always be there with him and fitness is also an issue. Will Kohli make it in the game till the age of 40? He turns 28 this year.

Be as it may, the man is the most likely to go past Sachin as of now. AB de Villiers as over a 1000-run advantage, but his body is already beginning to run out of steam. So the race is on, and Kohli plans to win it!
