Virat Kohli is always compared to Sachin Tendulkar in the cricket world. Whatever fans and cricket experts say but Virat Kohli says, I grew up watching Sachin on TV. It would be unfair to compare him with Sachin in such a situation. It has been many years since Sachin retired from the Indian team. While King Kohli is still playing for the country at international level. Here he is active in two formats of cricket, ODI and Test, while with the success of T20 World Cup 2024, he has said goodbye to T20 format.
Virat Kohli ready to change history:
Team India will soon play a 2-match Test series against Bangladesh. If Virat Kohli bats here, he will make a record in his name. Currently, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record of fastest to score 27,000 runs at international level. He reached the figure of 27,000 after 623 innings (226 Test innings, 396 ODI innings and 1 T20). Now if Virat Kohli scores 58 runs in the upcoming series, he will break this record of Sachin and make this special achievement in his name. Currently he has played 591 innings for the country and has scored 26,942 runs. Not that Kohli will miss out on this special feat if he fails to score 58 runs against Bangladesh. He has enough chance to break this particular record of Sachin. There is a possibility that in the next series, Kohli will achieve this special achievement of Sachin in his own name. By doing this, Kohli will also become the first cricketer to reach 27,000 runs in less than 600 innings in the 147-year history of international cricket. Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting and former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara have scored more than 27,000 runs in international cricket.
