Virat Kohli’s test career
Virat Kohli made an international debut for India in 2008. But he had to wait for three years to play the first Test. The Indian team went on a tour of West Indies after winning the 2011 World Cup. He was debuted on the grounds of Sabina Park in Kingston in Jamaica. In the first innings, he scored four runs and 15 in the second. Virat’s first half -century came on the Wankhede ground against the West Indies in the same year.
Virat scored 75 runs in the third after failing in the first two Tests on Australia tour in early 2012. India lost in the last Test in Adelaide but became Virat after playing an innings of 116 runs. After this, he did not look back. He has played 123 Test matches for India in which he has scored 9230 runs with the help of 30 centuries at an average of 46.85.
The most double century for India
The right -handed batsman made his mark as the legend of this format with seven double centuries, which is the highest for an Indian player. He is far ahead of great batsman Sunil Gavaskar (4), Sachin Tendulkar (6), Virender Sehwag (6) and Rahul Dravid (5). Along with this, Virat is also the captain who won the most Test for India. Under his captaincy, Team India won 40 Tests. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who holds the second number, has 27 wins.
Only three players ahead in run and century
Virat Kohli is at number four in terms of scoring the most runs in Tests for India. Apart from the great Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar have more runs than them. All three have scored more than 10,000 runs. Virat is also at number four in terms of century. Here too, the names of Sachin, Dravid and Gavaskar are ahead of them. Virat played the last Test of his career in Sydney against Australia.
