Virat Kohli on VERGE of SURPASSING Sachin Tendulkar in Ind vs Aus WTC Final

With the form on his side, Virat Kohli will be eyeing creating and breaking several records during the WTC Final.

Ind vs Aus: WTC Final 2023: World Test Championship (WTC) final is just one sleep away. While Team India will be eyeing to create history in the summit clash, superstar Virat Kohli will be in the spotlight as well. The former Indian captain has had a terrific 2023 so far and is coming on the back of a successful IPL 2023. With the form on his side, the 34-year-old will be eyeing creating and breaking several records.

Kohli, who has been instrumental for the Men in Blue in ICC tournaments, will also have a chance to surpass his ‘idol’ Sachin Tendulkar. The Indian cricketer, who has 620 runs in 15 knockout matches, can leapfrog Master Blaster (657 runs in 14 innings) to secure the 2nd position on the list of the leading run-scorer in ICC tournament knockout stage matches.

Currently, former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting holds the record for most runs in ICC tournament knockout stage matches with 731 runs in 18 innings.

With 28 Test centuries to his name, Kohli has the opportunity to equal the legendary Australian batsman Don Bradman’s career tally if he manages to score another century.
