Don Bradman’s 76 year old record on target of Virat Kohli
When the second match of the series between India and Australia starts, everyone’s eyes will be on former Indian captain Virat Kohli. Not only is he the best batsman in the world at the moment, it also has to be kept in mind that Virat Kohli has started with a century in the very first match of the five-match series. If a batsman like Kohli scores a century in the very first match of such a long series, then he is known to play well throughout the series. The Australian team will definitely be in awe of this. Meanwhile, Kohli still has four matches left. If his bat continues to move in the same manner in this also, then it will not be a big deal if he breaks Don Bradman’s 76 year old record in this series.
Don Bradman holds the record of scoring most centuries on the opposing team’s soil.
The record of scoring the most centuries by a batsman of the opposing team against any country on its own soil is still in the name of Don Bradman. The interesting thing is that most of the youth of today’s generation do not know much about Don Bradman. But at one time he used to have a lot of power. Don Bradman played for Australia. He had scored 11 centuries on English soil. From then till now no one has been able to even come close to breaking his record. Now Virat Kohli has this golden opportunity.
Virat Kohli will have to score two centuries in this series
Let’s talk about Don Bradman first. He has scored 2674 runs by playing 19 matches against England on their own soil and this includes 11 centuries. About 76 years have passed since then, but this record remains unbreakable. If we talk about Virat Kohli, he has gone to Australia and played 43 matches on its soil and scored 10 centuries. That means Kohli will need one century to equal Don Bradman and two centuries to break it. Although this work is not easy, but nothing is difficult for Kohli. If they are determined then anything becomes possible. The special thing is that apart from Kohli, no other batsman is equal to Don. If Kohli misses, then it is difficult to say whether Don’s record will be broken or not.
Virat Kohli is the only Indian player to score a century in the pink ball test.
The good thing for Virat Kohli is that he is the only Indian to score a century in the Pink Ball Test. He scored a century against Bangladesh in Kolkata in 2019. This was India’s first pink ball test. Since then, no Indian batsman has been able to score a century in the Pink Ball Test. Now Kohli has a big opportunity, along with other Indian batsmen also have the opportunity to do what has not been done since the year 2019.
