Virat Kohli is arguably the best batter of this generation, with excellent records in all formats of the game. When Sachin Tendulkar said that Virat Kohli could be the player to break his records, no one believed it. But with each passing day, Kohli is coming closer to achieving those feats and has even broken the record for most centuries in ODIs with 50 hundreds. As he continues his journey to becoming the greatest, Kohli will aim for another record in the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test in Kanpur, starting on September 27.
Virat Kohli to break this record in his next match
The former Indian captain will join an elite list by scoring just 35 runs in the IND vs BAN 2nd Test. The Indian batter currently has 26,965 runs in international cricket, and after scoring 35 more, he will become only the 4th player to complete 27,000 runs in international cricket.
The list features legendary players, with Sachin Tendulkar at the top, followed by Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting in second and third, respectively.
- 34357 – Sachin Tendulkar
- 28016 – K Sangakkara
- 27483 – Ricky Ponting
- 26965 – Virat Kohli*
- 25957 – M Jayawardene
- 25534 – Jacques Kallis
Virat Kohli will aim for return in form
Kohli struggled in the 1st Test against Bangladesh, scoring 6 and 17 runs in the two innings. Notably, he was playing red-ball cricket for the first time since March, having last faced England in a Test match.
