Will Kohli be able to break Sachin Tendulkar’s great record?
Virat Kohli: Former captain of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli is ready to play Test cricket after a long time. He played his last Test match in January this year. However, he continued to play other formats. Now after retiring from T20 International, Kohli is playing Test. Meanwhile, when he comes to Chennai for the first Test against Bangladesh, he will have a big record of Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket, on his target, which he can break.
Virat Kohli will complete his 27 thousand runs in international cricket
Virat Kohli has so far scored 26 thousand 942 runs in international cricket. That means he is close to completing his 27 thousand runs. Virat Kohli needs 58 more runs to reach this milestone, which he can complete in the first innings of the first test. Virat Kohli has played 591 international innings so far. If we talk about Sachin Tendulkar, when he completed 27 thousand runs, he had played 623 innings. At present, Sachin Tendulkar is the batsman who has scored the fastest 27 thousand runs, but if runs come from Virat Kohli’s bat, he will leave Sachin behind.
Kohli’s entire focus is on Tests and ODIs
Kohli has now announced his retirement from T20 International cricket. Now his entire focus is on Test and ODI. In such a situation, this is a great opportunity for him to set a new record. Kohli has so far scored 8848 runs in 191 innings of 113 Test matches. Where his average is slightly less than 50. Talking about ODIs, here he has scored 13906 runs in 283 innings of 295 matches. If we talk about T20 Internationals, there he has scored 4188 runs in 117 innings of 125 matches.
Virat Kohli is close to completing 10,000 runs in Tests
There should be no doubt that Kohli will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record, but the only question is how soon he manages to score 27 thousand runs. In this series, Virat Kohli will have some other records on his target. He will also try to complete his 10000 runs in Tests. However, he still needs a lot of runs for this. But if he gets a chance to bat in four innings of two Tests and his bat scores well, then it should not be a big deal.
