Virat Kohli, leading the Indian side, is close to setting several new records during the series finale against England at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. India currently leads the series 2-1 and is eyeing a final win to lift the trophy. Here are the specific records Kohli is chasing.
India captain Virat Kohli is on the cusp of breaking a handful of records during the 4th Test match against England at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Leading the series 2-1 India will look to win the final Test match and lift the trophy. The records that Kohli can go past are as follows.
If Kohli scores a century in this match, he will claim the title of the captain with the most centuries of all time. He currently sits tied with Australia's Ricky Ponting at 41. Supporters are eagerly waiting to see if he can secure his 71st overall international hundred and break this tie.
Kohli is set to match MS Dhoni's record for the most Tests captained for India, as the upcoming final match will be his 60th appearance as the leader of the team.
Known for his unwavering consistency across all formats, Kohli is on the verge of a massive batting milestone. He needs only 17 more runs to surpass 12,000 international runs while captaining, which would place him alongside legends like Graeme Smith and Ricky Ponting.
Lastly, Kohli has the opportunity to tie Sir Clive Lloyd's mark of 36 Test wins. A victory for India in this crucial match would see Kohli climb to joint-fourth place among the most successful Test captains in history.
