Virat Kohli: Indian cricket team's star batsman Virat Kohli is currently preparing for the test series against India vs Bangladesh. The first match of the series will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In this match, Virat Kohli has a great opportunity to break Sachin Tendulkar's record.

Virat Kohli can break this big record of Sachin Tendulkar

Indian cricket team's star batsman Virat Kohli is on the verge of achieving a feat that has not happened in 147 years of international cricket by surpassing Sachin Tendulkar in the first Test match of India vs Bangladesh. Virat Kohli is often compared with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

There has been a lot of debate about who is better, and a lot of statistics are presented to argue in favor of either of the two. Kohli currently has 26,942 runs in international cricket. Tendulkar played 623 innings to reach 27,000 runs.

Virat Kohli needs only 58 runs to break Sachin's record

With Indian cricket team's star batsman Virat Kohli scoring 26,942 runs across all formats of international cricket in 591 innings so far in his career, Kohli is 58 runs away from the 27,000-run mark. Tendulkar is currently the fastest player to reach this milestone, having done so in 623 innings (226 Test innings, 396 ODI innings, 1 T20 innings).

If Kohli scores 58 runs in his next 8 innings, he will become the fastest player to reach this milestone.

Another record of Sachin is on target

Sachin Tendulkar has scored a total of 100 centuries and Kohli is still chasing this target, currently Kohli is second in the list with 80 centuries. With this, Kohli will become the fourth player to score 27000 runs in international cricket. Earlier, Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting are the two other batsmen to score 27,000 runs in the history of international cricket.
