Virat Kohli touched another new milestone, the fourth Indian batsman to do so.
Virat Kohli Record: Virat Kohli touched another new milestone in Test cricket today. Kohli was out for zero in the first innings of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, after which he was criticized a lot, but in the second innings of the same match, Kohli responded with his bat. Although Kohli has already made many records, but this is something special because this is a Test milestone, which has been very close to Kohli’s heart. The Indian team may be on the back foot in this match, but if Team India has to come on the front foot, then only Kohli can do it from here.
Virat Kohli completed 9 thousand runs in test
Kohli was waiting for a long time to complete his 9 thousand runs in Test cricket, which he did today. Before this match, Kohli needed only 53 runs. It was expected that he would do this in the very first innings of the match, but there he was out on a duck. In the second innings of the Test, he first completed his half-century and shortly thereafter scored 3 more runs and completed 9 thousand runs.
Virat Kohli touched another new milestone, the fourth Indian batsman to do so.
Kohli did wonders in 116 test matches
Before Virat Kohli, there have been only three other Indian batsmen who have scored more than nine thousand runs. It took Kohli 197 innings of 116 matches to reach here. During this period, he has scored 29 centuries and 31 half-centuries with his bat. At present his average is 48.85 and he is batting at a strike rate of 55.81.
These batsmen of India have scored more than 10 thousand runs
Before this, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar, one of the world’s greatest batsmen, could do this. If we talk about his runs, Sachin Tendulkar has scored 15,921 runs after playing 200 tests. Whereas Rahul Dravid has scored 13,265 runs after playing 163 matches. Sunil Gavaskar has scored 10,122 runs in 125 test matches. Now Kohli’s next target will be to complete 10 thousand runs as soon as possible. If the form is good then this figure is also not far off for him. It is possible that from this year onwards we may be seen reaching another milestone.
