Virat Kohli again creates history in cricket. Virat Kohli becomes the fastest cricketer to complete 16000 runs in a List A career during his return in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Wednesday.

He was playing for his hometown city, Delhi, in a clash between Delhi and Andhra Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh was given the target of 299, and while chasing, Virat Kohli smashed an amazing hundred and completed his fastest 16000 runs in 330 innings.
