NEW DELHI: India star batter Virat Kohli is on the verge of adding another feather to his illustrious cap. The Indian run-machine Virat, who is in ominous touch in limited overs cricket, needs 318 runs to complete 2000 runs in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He has 1682 runs in 20 Tests (in BGT) at an average of 48.05.
If he manages to score 318 runs in the four-match series, he will become the fourth Indian cricketer to score 2000 and more runs in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Virat has 7 centuries and 5 fifties under his belt against Australia.
India’s batting legend Sachin Tendulkar is on top of the tally with 3262 runs in 34 Tests at an average of 56.24, including 9 centuries and 16 fifties.
