India's Virat Kohli became only the third batsman in the history of one-day internationals (ODIs) to surpass 14,000 runs during a crucial Champions Trophy match against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday. 

Entering the game in Dubai with 13,985 runs from 298 ODIs, Kohli reached the historic milestone with a stylish shot through the covers off fast bowler Haris Rauf. This milestone adds to Kohli's impressive legacy, as he is now only behind Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara (14,234 runs) and Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs) in the all-time ODI run-scoring charts.

As India chases Pakistan's total of 241 all out, Kohli, affectionately known as "King Kohli" for his prolific run-scoring abilities, is eager to lead his team to victory. The former captain, along with current skipper Rohit Sharma, stepped back from T20 internationals following India's World Cup triumph last year. However, both players have faced challenges in finding their form in recent Test and ODI matches, leading to speculation about their potential retirement from international cricket.
