Virat Kohli Records: Virat Kohli is currently one of the world's greatest cricketers. Whenever Kohli steps on the field, he has some record in his sight. Even though Virat Kohli's performance was not so good in the first Test match against Bangladesh, he created history by scoring a total of 23 runs in both innings. In fact, Kohli scored 17 runs in the second innings, which completed his 12 thousand runs on home ground. Virat has become the second batsman of India to achieve this feat after Sachin Tendulkar. He has made this record in 219 matches.
Will history be made in Kanpur?
Kohli may not have been able to play a big innings in the first Test, but in the second Test to be played in Kanpur, he will not only be eyeing a big score but also a big record. Actually, Virat Kohli has a chance to achieve a big success at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. If he manages to score 129 runs in the second Test, he will complete 9 thousand runs in Test cricket. He will be the fourth Indian cricketer to do so. Before this, only Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid have been able to touch this figure.
Will Kohli break Sachin's record?
In the second Test, Virat Kohli will also be eyeing to break Sachin Tendulkar's big record in international cricket. Virat is just 35 runs away from this record.

This will be the first time in the 147-year history of Test cricket that a cricketer will cross the 27,000 run mark in less than 600 innings.
