The Records and Milestones thread

[aussie tragic]

Lara, Tendulker and Sangakkara all passed 10,000 runs in their 195th innings. Are there any other significant milestones some greats have equaled like this one?

Note: Ponting did it in 196 innings

Not trying to knock Kohli’s amazing record, but the missing months aren’t making much difference - he’s played more international matches than anyone else in that time.

That is a fair point. He would have scored more runs though in a world where IPL didn't exist, but that could be said about any player.

Smith needs to score under 45 runs per innings until 10K to break this record, smh..

I don't think you can simply clump together the number of innings Kohli played and assume its not impressive to basically score 10K runs in just 4 years. Remember how many of those are T20I innings. And if someone can get the breakdown of the number of innings other batsmen have played in the same time, it will be more useful. To equate it with Border's 10K is just laughable.

Here is what Kohli's overall record looks in this 4 year period.

186 innings, 37 not outs, 10603 runs @ 71.16.

At least one cricketer(Joe Root) has played more innings than him in this period.

192 innings, 21 not outs, 8390 runs @ 49.06.

Damn, it looks awesome..

Also, you need to work out the differences coz a T20 innings is giving you so much lesser opportunity to get a score than an ODI and usually, an ODI offers you less scope for a score than a test innings even as a #3 or #4. Like I said, its juz bonkers to equate a record like this with Border's 10K.

Agreed. Border’s 10K was far more impressive.

Well played.

Really impressive this guy. If I followed sine from the bigginx, would h've made lot of profit on...

 

[Victor Ian]

I didnt read any comparison. Just the point that playing well, and playing lots equals lots of runs. Well played Kohli, though!

 

[aussie tragic]

Smith goes past Greg Chappell (7110 runs) to now be 10th highest run scorer for Australia

In 22 less innings, even though Chappell has the highest runs per innings of an Aussie not named Bradman, Smith or Voges. Insane.

 

[aussie tragic]

Kerry O'Keefe having played with Chappell can't believe he's no longer in top 10 (Chappell was #1 when he retired)

All I meant with the comparison to Border's 10k was that it's extremely impressive but ultimately it's not that meaningful.

Pujara at 8 on that list playing only one format is the most impressive thing there IMO.
