After heated discussions, the India-Australia Test Series is finally played on the field. The first test begins in Adelaide on Thursday. Previously, India’s captain Virat Kohli had set a multiple record in the ODI series.
This time Kohli is also at the forefront of a new milestone in the Test series. In the first round of the series against Australia, two legends Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara have a record to break.
This is the only day and night event in the four-game event series. At the same time, this is India’s first day and night test on foreign soil. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy starts to look pink in the Adelaide Oval.
In Adelaide, the record for two great hitters was broken when the giant bat made a great run. Sachin and Lara have outdone themselves in their prime. One is called the progenitor of cricket, the other is called the progenitor of records.
They both have many records. There was no less debate about who is the best hitter. However, there is no question in cricket history that they are both legendary hitters.
Virat Kohli follows in the footsteps of these two great hitters. In the recently concluded ODI series against Australia, Virat broke several Sachin records. Also in the test series, Kohli has a chance to surpass Sachin and Lara. However, the Indian captain will only get one match to break this record. Because he will return to the country on paternity leave after the first test.
Kohli will break Lara’s record if she scores 189 runs at Adelaide. Aside from the Australian batsman, Lara has the most test runs at the Adelaide Oval. The Caribbean legend has scored 610 runs in four Tests with an average of 7.25 with two centuries and two half centuries.
And Kohli, 32, has 431 races. He has scored this race in three tests with an average of 61.83. So with just 169 more runs Virat will break Lara’s record and become the highest run scorer in the Adelaide Oval as a non-Australian hitter.
On the other hand, if he achieves a century in the Adelaide Oval, Kohli will break Sachin’s record for nearly six centuries as an Indian hitter on Australian soil.
Tendulkar has scored 1,609 runs in 20 events on Australian soil, including six centuries. Average 53.2. Kohli has been on Australian soil for six centuries. That too in just 12 tests. The Indian team’s number four hitter has 1,284 runs.
