Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting said he has not seen a "better player" than Virat Kohli in ODIs, and backed the Indian batting star to go past legendary Sachin Tendulkar as the highest run-getter in the 50-over format.

India's cricketing icon Virat Kohli has been hailed as the greatest ODI cricketer of all time by Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain. This recognition came after Kohli's stellar century against Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy. He became the fastest batter to score 14,000 runs in ODIs, a feat he achieved in less than 350 innings.

Cricket great Virat Kohli became the fastest batter and third man to reach 14,000 runs in one-day international cricket before going on to hit a record-extending 51st century in the ODI format.
