Virat Kohli is 58 runs away from breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record: In the cricket world, Virat Kohli is always compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Whatever the fans and cricket experts say, but Virat Kohli says, I grew up watching Sachin on TV. In such a situation, it would be unfair to compare him with Sachin. It has been many years since Sachin retired from the Indian team. While King Kohli is still playing for the country at the 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 the T20 format.
Virat Kohli is 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. Currently, the record of scoring the fastest 27,000 runs at the international level is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar. 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 Sachin's record and achieve this special feat. Currently, he has played 591 innings for the country and scored 26,942 runs.
Kohli needs 58 runs in 8 innings
It is not that Kohli will miss this special achievement if he fails to score 58 runs against Bangladesh. He has a great chance to break this special record of Sachin. It is likely that Kohli will achieve this special achievement of Sachin in the next series. By doing this, Kohli will also become the first cricketer in the 147-year history of international cricket to reach 27,000 runs in less than 600 innings.
This amazing record belongs to three giants
Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting and former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara have scored more than 27000 runs in international cricket.
