IND vs BAN: 3 milestones which Virat Kohli will eye in the test series

Virat Kohli is on the verge of achieving a few iconic milestones during the IND vs BAN test series 2024.

Former India captain Virat Kohli is set to play his first home test match this year. Earlier, the veteran cricketer missed the whole England test series due to the birth of his son.

The upcoming two-match test series against Bangladesh will be played from September 19 in Chennai and the second test will be played in Kanpur. The upcoming Bangladesh test series is part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle.

The Bangladesh test series will be crucial for Virat in order to prepare for the upcoming high-voltage test series against New Zealand (home) and the test series in Australia. Ahead of the two-match test series against Bangladesh, let’s take a look at the three huge milestones Kohli is eyeing to achieve.

IND vs BAN: 3 records which Virat Kohli will eye in the test series

1. Go past Don Bradman’s tally of centuries

Veteran cricketer Virat Kohli could surpass the legendary Sir Don Bradman’s tally of centuries in test cricket. Kohli has notched up 29 test centuries till now. Australian legend Sir Don Bradman scored 29 hundreds in the longest format.

Kohli needs to hit one more hundred in order to surpass the legendary cricketer on the century list.

2. 152 runs away from 9000 Test runs

The former Indian captain Kohli will be aiming to achieve the 9000-run landmark in test cricket during the Bangladesh two-match series at home.

Only three Indian batters have scored more than 9,000 runs till now. Kohli has amassed 8848 runs in 113 test matches and needs 152 more runs to cross the milestone.

3. Virat Kohli could break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of being the fastest to 27000 international runs

Kohli has the big opportunity to shatter an iconic record of the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. The 35-year-old is just 58 runs away from reaching 27,000 runs in international cricket.

The right-handed batter has scored 26,942 runs across all formats in 591 innings.

Tendulkar reached the 27000-run landmark in 623 innings and is the fastest batsman to do so. During the upcoming Bangladesh test series, Kohli is expected to break this record of Tendulkar’s.
