Virat Kohli stands alone with 900+ ratings in all formats

Following a huge update from the ICC, Virat Kohli’s highest T20I rating was adjusted from 897 to 909 points. Kohli's adjustment now sets him apart from the rest, with him being the only player in the history of cricket to accomplish a 900+ rating in all 3 formats tested, ODIs, and T20Is.

Kohli's T20I peak rating of 909 was during his glorious innings against England on September 7, 2014. Kohli was at his peak and wading through opposition bowlers with flair and consistency, wherever and however they bowled. Until the change, his T20I best a-listed 897, a brilliant mark in its own right, but now officially corrected, representing a true pinnacle of his short-format genius.

With this, Kohli’s highest ICC ratings now stand at:

• Tests: 937 points
  
• ODIs: 911 points
  
• T20Is: 909 points

Virat Kohli is now the only player with 900+ ICC rating points in all three formats of the game

This achievement solidifies his place in history among the best all-format players the game has seen. No one, not even Sachin Tendulkar, AB de Villiers, or Steve Smith, has achieved 900+ across all formats.

Kohli has been a powerhouse in ODI and Test cricket, but he has also done so in T20I, displaying his class under pressure and strong chases and innings at intensity levels that many of us never thought were possible, but he always delivered when it mattered most for India, especially in ICC events and bilateral series against the best teams.

This update is really about the legacy, not just the numbers. He has proven himself to be a player for all formats. It doesn't matter if it was a classic straight drive in a Test match, a dominant cover drive in ODIs, or a cheeky flick for six in a T20; Kohli has shown all those different facets at the highest level for us to enjoy. With this revision, the GOAT debate may finally have a new benchmark: 900 across all formats and only one name next to it, Virat Kohli.
