The year ends with Virat Kohli, creating another piece of cricket history by becoming the first player ever to score 2000 runs in seven different calendar years, the first time in 146 years. Despite India's crushing defeat to South Africa in the 1st Test, Kohli showcased his batting prowess by contributing 76 runs off 82 balls, bringing his 2023 tally to 2006 runs. This remarkable achievement adds to Kohli's previous milestones in 2012 (2186 runs), 2014 (2286 runs), 2016 (2595 runs), 2017 (2818 runs), 2018 (2735 runs), and 2019 (2455 runs), setting an unparalleled record since the inception of international cricket in 1877, as per official records.
