Kohli led India to a six-wicket victory in the fifth and final ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday scoring an unbeaten 110 runs off 116 balls and whitewashed the islanders 5-0 in the five-match series.
With his 30th ODI ton, Kohli is now joint-second with Ricky Ponting on the list of most ODI hundreds behind Sachin Tendulkar (49).
In the course of his ton, Kohli also became the first player to scored 1000 ODI runs in 2017. He touched the mark when he was seven runs short of the hundred in the 38th over.
With the limited overs series win against Sri Lanka, India have now won their fifth ODI series on the trot, starting from Zimbabwe in 2016 (3-0) and then beating New Zealand (3-2), England (2-1) and West Indies (3-1).
