Delhi: Virat Kohli is in discussion on different platforms when he retired from Test cricket. A big unique record associated with his name did not pay any attention. Just as the record of his run or 100 count stopped with his last test, the process of this record also stopped with his last test.
Virat Kohli’s unique test record
Before the discussion of this unique Test record of Virat Kohli, another big unique record is necessary because then it will be known what Virat Kohli did? When Tim Southee of New Zealand retired in December 2024, it was noted that he could not overcome the 77* score of 77* on his Test debut against England in March 2008, that he could not cross any of the 106 Tests played in the 106 Tests, that is, the score of 77* in the debut test was left. They are not alone to make such a unique record. Based on the counting of the Test, the names of Darren Goff of England, Romesh Kaluvitarna of Sri Lanka and Andrew Hudson of South Africa come after him.
Virat Kohli completely reversed it. In June 2011, Virat scored 4 runs in his debut test in Kingston against West Indies. In the second innings of this test, he made his top score 15 and overall improved his top score in his Test career 15 times. Once you achieved, it was not comforted on it and there was always the urge to increase his top score. See how Virat continued to increase his top test score (the date written together is on the first day of that test):
