Tendulkar

While this is open to debate, that Dhoni belongs to the same cluster as Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev is now widely acknowledged.

He has also scored 28 of his record 51 ODI centuries in chases, which is 11 more than former India team-mate Sachin Tendulkar.

It took Kohli beyond 14,000 ODI runs in 63 fewer innings than his idol Sachin Tendulkar, who is the leading run-scorer in the format.

Tendulkar's 18,426 ODI runs might prove just out of reach for Kohli but he is well within striking distance of Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, who is second on the all-time list with 14,234.

India's Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for the most Test runs on 15,921, with Ponting second with 13,378.
