Nearly a year after his retirement from T20 Internationals, Virat Kohli has added yet another remarkable feat to his glittering career-this time, through a retrospective update.
The ICC has revised Kohli's career-best T20I rating from 897 to 909, placing him in an elite category never seen before: the only cricketer in history to breach the 900-rating mark in all three international formats.

With the updated T20I rating of 909, Kohli now stands third on the all-time T20I rankings list, trailing only Dawid Malan (919) and Suryakumar Yadav (912). This re-evaluation reaffirms Kohli's all-format mastery, especially considering that his peak Test rating stands at a phenomenal 937, while in ODIs, he has touched a high of 911.
Kohli is among the rare cricketers to cross 900 rating points in multiple formats, having done so in ODIs, Tests, and now T20Is.
| Statistic | Value |
|---|---|
| Best Rating | 909 |
| Total T20I Runs | 4188 |
| Batting Average | 48.70 |
| Best Ranking | 1 |
Virat Kohli crossing the 900 rating points milestone in T20 cricket stands as a hallmark of his technical prowess, adaptability, and big-match temperament. This record not only cements his status as one of the greatest T20 batsmen but also as a standard-bearer for excellence in the global game.
Kohli is one of the greatest baters of all time. He is the fastest player to reach 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, and 11,000 runs in One Day Internationals (ODIs), and he holds the record for most ODI centuries, with 51 to his name. In Test cricket, Kohli has amassed 9,230 runs with 30 centuries, including a remarkable 7 double hundreds-the most by an Indian captain. Overall, he has scored 82 centuries across formats, and was the first player in history to win all three major ICC awards in a single year.
As Kohli' reaches a new height post-T20I retirement, the India stalwart will have further opportunity to heighten his ODI rating as he represents India in the 50-over game.
