By: Tupaki Desk | 12 Sep 2024 11:39 AM GMTVirat Kohli is on the verge of achieving a remarkable milestone in his cricketing career, as he stands just 58 runs away from surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record of 27,000 runs in international cricket. With the Indian team set to face Bangladesh in a Test series starting September 19, all eyes will be on Kohli to see if he can reach this significant landmark. Currently, Kohli has amassed a total of 26,942 runs in 591 innings, making him one of the fastest players to approach this historic mark.
As Kohli prepares for the upcoming series, discussions about his legacy and comparisons to Tendulkar are intensifying. Tendulkar holds the record for being the fastest to reach 27,000 runs, achieving this feat in 623 innings. If Kohli manages to surpass this milestone within his next eight innings, he will become the first cricketer in the history of the game to reach 27,000 runs in fewer than 600 innings, further solidifying his status as one of the all-time greats in cricket.
While Kohli has consistently praised Tendulkar as an unparalleled icon, his own accomplishments have placed him in the conversation as one of the best in the sport's history. With 80 international centuries to his name, Kohli is also closing in on Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries, a feat that many believe will be challenging to surpass.
As the series against Bangladesh approaches, fans and cricket enthusiasts alike are eager to witness Kohli's performance. His ability to score runs consistently and break records has made him a central figure in Indian cricket, and this upcoming opportunity could mark another historic moment in his illustrious career. With the cricketing world watching closely, Kohli's pursuit of this milestone is sure to generate excitement and discussions about his legacy in the sport.
