Virat Kohli is close to a new milestone, till now only 3 Indian batsmen have been able to do this miracle.
Virat Kohli: The test series between India and New Zealand starts from today. Three matches will be played in the series, which is to be held under the World Test Championship. The first match is in Bengaluru from today. Team India will try to take another step towards the ICC WTC final by winning the series. Meanwhile, everyone’s eyes are going to be on Virat Kohli in this series. They are getting closer to achieving another milestone. The special thing is that till now only three batsmen have been able to do this miracle in the history of Indian Test cricket. Now Kohli can become the fourth batsman. He just needs to score some more runs.
Batsman who scored ten thousand runs in test for India
The batsman who has scored the most test runs for India is Sachin Tendulkar. He has scored 15,921 runs in his name after playing 200 test matches. He is also the batsman who has scored the most test runs in the world. After this comes Rahul Dravid. During his Test career, he has managed to score 13,265 runs in his name by playing 163 matches. After this comes the name of Sunil Gavaskar. Sunil Gavaskar became the first batsman to score 10 thousand test runs for India.
Virat Kohli close to 10 thousand runs
Sunil Gavaskar has played a total of 125 matches and scored 10,122 runs in his Test career. Although there have been many great batsmen in Indian cricket, but till now only three batsmen have been able to cross the figure of 10 thousand in this format. Now Virat Kohli can also be included in that list, he is very close to it. Virat Kohli has so far played 115 test matches and scored 8947 runs. That means, to touch the figure of 10 thousand, he needs 1053 more runs. That means the destination is still far away. As of now, this milestone does not seem to be achieved, but if he keeps playing continuously then 10 thousand runs will definitely be completed.
Kohli can complete his 9 thousand runs in this series
Meanwhile, right now Virat Kohli’s target will be to complete 9000 runs. Which they can achieve in this series i.e. the three-match series against New Zealand. For this they need only 53 runs from here. However, right now Virat Kohli is not in the kind of form for which he is known and recognized. But a batsman like Kohli cannot be kept silent for too long. Whenever the ball starts coming properly on his bat, he will score another pile of runs. Anyway, after retiring from T20 International, now Kohli’s entire focus is on ODI and Test cricket. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen how Virat Kohli bats against New Zealand in the first Test in Bengaluru.
