Virat Kohli just one step away from breaking MS Dhoni’s big record.
The Indian cricket team was to play at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru from October 16 but the first day’s play has been canceled due to rain. In this match, Virat Kohli is very close to breaking a big record, in which he will leave behind former Team India captain MS Dhoni. Till now, Virat Kohli has been seen playing for Team India in all three formats, but he said goodbye to this format in international cricket after the victory of Team India in the T20 World Cup 2024 held this year. Currently, he is seen playing continuously in Test and ODI.
Virat will be the player who has played the second most number of international matches for India.
The record of playing the most number of matches for the Indian team in international cricket, including all formats, is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who has played a total of 664 matches including Test, ODI and T20. After this, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli jointly occupy the second position, in which all three have played 535-535 matches. As soon as Kohli plays in the first Test against New Zealand, he will become the batsman who has played the most number of matches in T20 International for Team India. The name of Rahul Dravid is at third place in this list, who has played a total of 504 international matches for Team India.
Players who have played most international matches for India
Sachin Tendulkar – 664 matches
MS Dhoni – 535 matches
Virat Kohli – 535 matches
Rahul Dravid – 504 matches
Rohit Sharma – 485 matches
Series against New Zealand is enough for the Indian team
To easily secure their place in the final of the third edition of the World Test Championship, they need to win all three matches against New Zealand. If even one match is drawn then in this situation Team India will have to perform much better on the tour of Australia.
