- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,January 03 2019]
Sachin Tendulkar himself has stated that Virat Kohli has the talent to break many of his records and the Team India skipper is just doing it one by one. This morning in the ongoing fourth and final test against Australia it was a rare disappointment for Kohli as he was dismissed for 23 by Josh Hazelwood. At the same time King Kohli surpassed 19000 international runs across all formats of cricket, tests, ODIs and T20s. He has now beaten Sachin's record for the fastest to the record doing it in his 399th innings while the retired great took 432.
West Indies legend Brian Lara (433), Australia's Ricky Ponting (444) and South African allrounder Jacques Kallis (458) are the rest of the players in the top 5. Kohli has had an outstanding 2018 scoring 2735 international runs across formats with 11 hundreds to his name. The way the current test is placed with India in command scoring 300 for 4 by tea it looks like Captain Kohli is poised to beat Australia 3-1 in their home turf making history at the very start of 2019.
