IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli will have another record after scoring 42 runs, will leave Gavaskar-Dravid behind as well

Ahmedabad: Former Indian cricket team captain and star batsman Virat Kohli has failed to make a mark in Test cricket for quite some time now. He made a comeback in T20 and ODI after his poor form. But he has so far failed to make a comeback in Test cricket. Kohli has not scored a single century in Test cricket since 2019. Despite this, if he scores 42 runs in the Test match between India and Australia being played in Ahmedabad, then he will achieve a special achievement.

Will complete 4000 runs on Indian soil in Test cricket

If Virat Kohli scores 42 runs in the final and fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, he will complete his 4000 runs at home in Test cricket. Kohli will become the fifth batsman after the great Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag to achieve this feat. At the same time, it is also Virat Kohli’s 50th Test in India.

With this, if Virat Kohli is able to score 42 runs in the Ahmedabad Test in the first innings itself, then he will come at number three in the list of players who scored the fastest 4000 runs on Indian soil. He will also leave behind Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid and Little Master Gavaskar. Whereas Kohli has so far scored 3958 runs in 76 innings. Significantly, Kohli’s average (58) is the best in the list of players who have scored 4000 runs.

2) Sachin Tendulkar (76 innings)
