The second Test of the three-match series between India and New Zealand will begin in Pune from Thursday. If young player Shubman Gill does not return in this match, then star batsman Virat Kohli will have to play at number three. Virat does not like this batting position. Regarding this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has also said that if Virat has to come at number three then it will be unfair to him. When Gill did not play in Bengaluru, Virat had to take the field, where he could not even open the account in the first innings.
However, Virat played a good innings and scored 70 runs in the second innings. Virat has played 116 Tests so far in his career and he has played most of them at number four. Virat has scored 29 centuries in his career so far, while no century has been scored at number three. Meanwhile, Virat's high score was 70 runs.
Virat Kohli will leave Bradman behind!
Kohli will have his eyes set on many records in Pune against New Zealand. Virat currently has 29 Test centuries in his name, which is equal to Australia's great Don Bradman. In such a situation, if Virat is successful in scoring a century in Pune, then he will have 30 centuries in his name and will go ahead of Bradman.
Virat can complete one thousand runs
Apart from this, in Pune, Kohli has a chance to overtake players like Sanath Jayasuriya, Tamim Iqbal, Brendon McCullum. For this, Kohli will have to complete his half-century in Pune. If Kohli is able to do this, he will surpass all these players in terms of scoring the most half centuries in Tests. Kohli has scored 936 runs so far against New Zealand. In such a situation, he has the record of completing 1000 runs against the Kiwi team in Pune.
