Virat Kohli took the cricketing world by storm on Wednesday as he became the fastest to 10,000 ODI runs during India's second ODI against West Indies.

The Indian captain went past Sachin Tendulkar on the all-time list and notched up his 37th ODI hundred, his second of the ongoing series against the Windies.

Twitter was in awe of 'King Kohli', with fans and former cricketers congratulating the Indian captain for his stupendous feat.

Here are some tweets

Earlier on Wednesday, India won the toss and opted to bat first against West Indies in their second ODI of the ongoing five-match series at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

Following the toss, Indian skipper Kohli said, "Looks like a nice and hard wicket. Our bowling combination is perfect to defend totals."

Kohli further confirmed that spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been included in the playing eleven at the place of pacer Khaleel Ahmed.

West Indies captain Jason Holder, on the other hand, stated that he is not disheartened after being asked to bowl first. We need to dig as deep as possible and get through the Indian middle-order, he continued.

"Not disheartened to bowl first. The pitch should be okay for a hundred overs, looks like a good pitch. We need to take it as deep as possible while chasing, but for now, we need to get into India's middle order," Holder said.

Talking about the team combination, Holder revealed that left-arm pacer Obed Mccoy would make his ODI debut in the match. He has replaced pacer Oshane Thomas in the Caribbean squad.

Already leading the ongoing series 1-0, India will look to further strengthen their position by clinching the second ODI.
