Cricket Records Virat Kohli May Never Break: Cricket is such a game in which new records are made and broken every day. In modern cricket, Virat Kohli is one of those names who are regularly creating new records. Virat has already made the record of most centuries (50) in ODI cricket. At the same time, his record of scoring more than 700 runs in a single ODI World Cup also seems impossible to be broken at the moment. But there are some records which seem to be far beyond Virat's reach.
Most runs in international cricket
Virat Kohli played his first match for India in the year 2008. In the last 16 years, he has played a total of 533 matches representing Team India at the international level. So far, he has scored 13,906 runs in ODI cricket, 8,484 runs in Test matches and 4,188 runs in T20 cricket. Virat currently has a total of 26,942 runs in international cricket. But at the top of this list is Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 34,357 runs in his historic career. Virat is currently 35 years old and even if he scores a total of 2,000 runs per year, it will still take him about 4 years to break this record. The way efforts are being made to build a new Team India, it does not seem that Virat will play international cricket for long now.
Most centuries in Test cricket
Virat Kohli made his Test debut in 2011. He is one of the greatest batsmen in the shorter formats of cricket, but there is nothing incredible about his Test record. He has scored a total of 8,848 runs in 113 Test matches so far, including 29 centuries. The highest number of centuries in Test cricket was scored by Sachin Tendulkar, who has a total of 51 centuries. Kohli has scored only 2 Test centuries in the last 4 years. These figures show that his Test form is not improving much with time. He still has to score 23 centuries to surpass Tendulkar, which seems impossible.
Most sixes
Virat Kohli's playing style is not much dependent on power hitting, rather he believes in playing with timing. Since Rohit Sharma's natural playing style includes power hitting, this is why he has been able to hold the record of hitting the most sixes (620) in international cricket. Virat Kohli has only 301 sixes in international cricket. Not only this, but it seems impossible for him to surpass him in terms of sixes in Test, ODI and T20 cricket separately.
