Ex-Australia skipper Ricky Ponting congratulated Virat Kohli after he surpassed him in the list of most international runs. "I know he's...close to (Kumar) Sangakkara now...But still a little way to go to catch Sachin (Tendulkar)," he said. Kohli, standing third on the list with 27,503 runs, is behind only Sangakkara and Tendulkar, who have 28,016 and 34,357 runs respectively.
