New Delhi. Virat Kohli is the best cricketer of Team India. He has not played for India since the T20 World Cup. However, Kohli will be seen playing in the Test series against Bangladesh. The first match will start from September 19. Virat Kohli will have a chance to surpass Sachin Tendulkar in this series. If he does so, he will become the first cricketer in the world to do so.
In his career so far, Kohli has scored 26942 runs in all formats of international cricket in 591 innings. He is 58 runs away from the peak of 27,000 runs. If Virat Kohli scores 58 runs in the series against Bangladesh, he will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record and become the first cricketer in the world to do so.
In fact, Sachin Tendulkar completed 27000 runs in 623 innings (226 Test innings, 396 ODI innings, 1 T20 innings). Virat Kohli is currently at 26942 runs after playing less than 600 innings. If he scores 58 runs in the next 8 innings, he will become the first cricketer to score 27000 runs in less than 600 innings. No cricketer has done this before. This will be the first time in the 147-year history of international cricket.
However, scoring 58 runs in this series is not a big deal for Kohli. So it is expected that he will cross this figure. Let us tell you that apart from Sachin Tendulkar, Australia’s Ricky Ponting and Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara have scored more than 27000 runs in international cricket.
