It was a day filled with new records and milestones during the fifth match of the ODI World Cup 2023 between India and Australia. India defeated Australia by six wickets with a crucial partnership between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. However, the match was filled with new records and milestones at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Australia’s prime seamer, Mitchell Starc, became the fastest bowler to reach fifty wickets in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup. Starc claimed Ishan Kishan for a golden duck as his 50th wicket and first in the tournament. He surpassed the initial record holder, Lasith Malinga, by taking 50 wickets in just 19 innings.
Warner’s fastest 1000 with the bat
Australia successfully made another record when David Warner became the fastest batter to reach 1000 runs in the ODI World Cup in just 19 innings. His innings couldn’t make the Aussies win the game, but he surely surpassed the God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, as well as Mr. 360, Ab de Villers, who took 20 innings each to reach the 1000-run milestone.
Kohli is entering the Legends leaderboard
Chase master Kohli (85) and KL Rahul (97*) steer India to a comfortable win despite having a horrific start. While chasing the target of 200, Kohli moved into the top ten for scoring the most runs at the Cricket World Cup. He currently stands with 1,115 runs at the 50-over tournaments and has the potential to surpass West Indian star Brain Lara to take fourth place in the leaderboard. He requires 111 runs to hit this milestone, and by seeing him play against the Aussies, we hope he will do it before the tournament concludes.
