For the fourth year straight, Indian skipper Virat Kohli has completed with the most worldwide runs scored in a schedule year, broadening his very own record returning to 2016.

Virat Kohli has now scored the most global runs every year since 2016.

Rohit Sharma completed second in the race with 2442 runs in 2019.

No other batsman has accomplished the accomplishment in 3 progressive years.

In a race for world predominance like no other, at last, an unmistakable champ has risen among 2 monsters of current cricket. This specific race was tied in with scoring the most global runs in 2019. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had just set the year land with their bursting exhibitions with the bat, while as of late swapping spots at the highest point of the run-getters list nearly with each other game. Be that as it may, in a fitting finale to the couple's stature, in their last universal match of the year, Kohli edged past his partner to expand his own record as the main run-getter in a schedule year into the fourth year running.

Since 2016, Kohli has completed with the most number of runs in all Tests, ODIs and T20Is consolidated, every year. While in 2016, Kohli top-scored with 2595 races to his name, he lined that up with 2818 and 2735 runs in 2017 and 2018 separately. On Sunday during the third ODI versus West Indies, when Kohli scored his 73rd run, his universal run-count for 2019 contacted 2443 - one more than that of Sharma - making it the fourth sequential year wherein Kohli has asserted this accomplishment. Be that as it may, prior Rohit made sure to increase current standards for his skipper.

Before the Cuttack game, it was Rohit who remained at the highest point of the store, driving Kohli by 9 runs. Rohit further extended the hole on Sunday while pursuing West Indies' 315/5, the opener scored a familiar 63 at a-run-a-ball, bound with eight 4s and a most extreme. Be that as it may, after Rohit tumbled to Jason Holder, Kohli demonstrated why he is regularly called 'The King' by going above and beyond and asserting the record for himself.

Pakistan's Babar Azam lies in the third spot behind Kohli and Rohit on this rundown with 2082 runs in 36 matches. Be that as it may, Azam can't go past the Indian pair as there are not any more worldwide matches booked for Pakistan in 2019. Ross Taylor (1820) and Joe Root (1790) gather together the best 5 on this renowned rundown.

While Rohit passed up the record, he should feel really fulfilled to have claimed a few other major ODI records. Right off the bat, the flashy opener completed as the top run-getter in ODIs in 2019 with 1490 runs which incorporates 7 hundreds. Furthermore, Rohit's 2442 runs in 2019 broke the record of Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya's 1997 run-count of most worldwide runs as an opener in a schedule year. Jayasuriya had scored 2387 runs as an opener 22 years back.
