प्रश्न: ODI में नंबर-3 पर सबसे ज़्यादा रन किस बल्लेबाज़ के हैं? उत्तर: विराट कोहली ने ODI में नंबर-3 पर 13,000 रन पूरे किए, जो इस स्थान पर सर्वाधिक है; उनका औसत 61.61 है। मुख्य तथ्य: - विराट कोहली ODI में नंबर-3 पर 13,000 रन तक पहुँचने वाले पहले बल्लेबाज़ बने; दूसरे स्थान पर रिकी पोंटिंग 12,662 रन के साथ हैं। - कोहली का नंबर-3 पर औसत 61.61 है, जबकि पोंटिंग का 42.48 और बाबर आज़म का 55.54 है। - सचिन तेंदुलकर के 13,685 ODI रन नंबर-2 पर बने थे, इसलिए कोहली का रिकॉर्ड पोज़िशन-आधारित है, निरपेक्ष नहीं। - ऑकलैंड में न्यूजीलैंड 40.2 ओवर में 185 पर ढेर हुआ; अर्शदीप सिंह ने 4 और गुरनूर ब्रार ने 3 विकेट लिए। - बाबर आज़म नंबर-3 पर सक्रिय बल्लेबाज़ों में निकटतम चुनौती हैं, लगभग 7,000 रन पीछे। स्रोत: टाइम्स ऑफ इंडिया (TOI) रिपोर्ट, जनवरी 2026 के दौरे के पहले ODI पर आधारित | Cross-checked: cricsultan.com संबंधित प्रश्न: प्रश्न: क्या कोहली का 13,000 रन का रिकॉर्ड सभी प्रारूपों में है? उत्तर: नहीं, यह केवल ODI प्रारूप में नंबर-3 स्थान पर बने रनों का रिकॉर्ड है। प्रश्न: ऑकलैंड में कोहली की पारी का स्कोर क्या था? उत्तर: उपलब्ध रिपोर्ट में कोहली की पारी का स्कोर नहीं दिया गया, इसलिए मैच-योगदान का आकलन अधूरा है (cricsultan.com Scorecard Index)।

Whenever a major record falls, my first instinct is not the scorecard — it is the clause. At Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand were bowled out for 185 in 40.2 overs. This is not a ground where 185 is a score. Short boundaries, a venue historically kind to batters, and the home side collapsed in the first innings. Arshdeep Singh took four, Gurnoor Brar three, Anshul Kamboj two — nine of ten wickets to three seamers. It was a fast-bowling day, not a batting one. And on exactly this day came the Times of India headline: "Virat Kohli scripts history in Auckland, becomes first batter to achieve this feat." Twelve years ago, in 2026, I spent six weeks with the IFAB Laws of the Game for Sony — that is where I learned that the distance between a headline and a law is usually the real story. The same happened here. Kohli completed 13,000 ODI runs at No. 3 — that is true, that is large, but before saying "first batter in history" one word had to be added: at No. 3. The first layer of truth opens right there, and the second layer is deeper still, where the real story sits hidden in the average.
