Don't forget that #kingkohli played 115 t20i matches in those 499 international matches whereas both of them didn't play a single t20i game at that moment and in ODIs and test it is easier to score more runs as compared to t20is
Hail #kingkohli 🙌

Kohli's immense fitness passion ensures he'll easily play for more 6 years.
With at least 25 international matches per year, that's a staggering more 150 matches in total.
