The India captain came into Sunday’s meeting at a raucous Old Trafford just 57 shy of the landmark, which he reached courtesy of a glanced four off Hasan Ali to help his side to 290-3 having been put in.
Kohli’s milestone came up in only his 222nd ODI innings, a remarkable 54 fewer than his compatriot, who needed 276.
Ranked the number-one batsman in the 50-over format, Kohli is the ninth man to reach 11,000 runs and the third from his country after Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly.
