Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim congratulated India skipper Virat Kohli for storming into the elite club of batsmen with more than 10,000 ODI runs. On Wednesday morning, as India prepared to take on the Windies in the second ODI at Visakhapatnam, Kohli was 81 runs away from the staggering milestone. The captain was fresh from a marvellous 140 in the first game and was expected to break into the 10K club at Vizag.

India won the toss and elected to bat first, and once again the captain found himself out in the middle early on in the innings. Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma did not last long at the crease, and Kohli then began to repair the damage along with Ambati Rayudu. Although he started cautiously, he went into overdrive shortly after going past his half-century. By the time he’d notched up his 37th ODI ton, Virat Kohli was virtually unstoppable. He remained unbeaten on 157, his third highest individual score in ODIs.

Countless wishes came through for cricket’s undeniable luminary. The Bangladeshi veteran wasn’t the one to miss out on the occasion either, taking to Twitter to write, “Congratulations to one and only sir virat kohli for reaching 10k runs in the blink of an eye”

 The Bogra-born player had courted controversy in the match against India when he celebrated victory prematurely before the team lost the match by 1 run and Rahim was trolled heavily on Twitter. After Bangladesh’s humiliating defeat against India, he took to Twitter after India’s defeat against West Indies in the semi-finals. He tweeted the following, “Happiness is this….!!!!!! #ha ha ha…!!!! India lost in the semifinal.”

Check out the comments he received now for his tweet supporting Kohli’s achievement :

— Bilal Anwar (@bilalanwar717) October 25, 2018

You should’ve mentioned @imVkohli in your tweet without ‘Sir’ salutation!

— CreaTive CrimiNal (@deeponkhan) October 25, 2018
