Virat Kohli has a chance to reach a big milestone in Kanpur
Virat Kohli India vs Bangladesh: The second match of the Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played from 27 September at the historic Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The Indian team has taken the lead in the series by winning the first match, now its focus will be on whitewashing Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is also ready for this match. He did not score many runs in the first match, but now he will definitely want to score runs in the second match, if he scores runs then he will reach a new milestone.
Kohli close to completing 27 thousand international runs
Virat Kohli has scored more than 26 thousand runs in international cricket so far. Now he is just a few runs away from completing 27 thousand runs. So far only three batsmen from all over the world have been able to achieve this feat in international cricket. Sachin Tendulkar is at number one, Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara is at second and Ricky Ponting is at third. If Virat Kohli scores 35 more runs at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium, he will touch the figure of 27 thousand.
Such are Kohli’s records in all three formats of cricket
Virat Kohli has so far scored 26,965 runs in 593 innings of 534 matches. If we talk about different formats, Kohli has scored 8,871 runs in 114 Tests. In ODIs, he has scored 13,906 runs in 295 matches. In T20 International, Kohli has scored 4188 runs in 125 matches. However, now he has announced his retirement from T20 International.
Kohli’s bat failed to score any runs in the first test against Bangladesh
Kohli scored 6 runs off 6 balls in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, while in the second innings he scored only 17 runs. Which does not suit the name of a batsman like Virat Kohli. But it is possible that he will make up for this in Kanpur and succeed in playing a big innings. Anyway, a batsman like Kohli does not remain silent for too long. After failing in a few innings, a big innings always comes.
Kohli’s stats are not good in Kanpur
However, if we talk about Kohli’s test statistics in Kanpur, they are not very good. Kohli played test in Kanpur for the first time in the year 2016. At that time he was facing New Zealand team. Kohli was able to score only 9 runs in the first innings and only 18 runs in the second. That means a total of 27 runs. In such a situation, his fans in Kanpur will definitely be waiting for a big innings from Kohli, and if he also makes a record of 27000 runs, it will be icing on the cake.
