Team India skipper Virat Kohli is one of the best batsmen of the present time. Kohli, who stepped into international cricket for the first time in 2008, has achieved many great achievements in his career so far. Kohli has a total of 7,240 runs in 86 matches in Test cricket, while in ODIs he has scored 11,867 runs in 248 matches.

In terms of centuries, Kohli has scored 27 centuries in Tests and 43 in ODIs and is soon to reach the record of centuries of former Indian veteran Sachin Tendulkar. Today we will talk about the records that Kohli can make in the near future!

Sachin's Most Centuries Record: Kohli's first record on target is the record of most centuries by Sachin Tendulkar. Former Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar is the only player to hold the record for scoring 100 centuries, although Kohli, who considers him his ideal, is not far from Tendulkar. Kohli has a total of 70 international centuries and it is not impossible for Virat to attain the mega milestone.

Most Double Century Record in Tests: Even though in ODI cricket, King Kohli has not crossed the 200 mark yet, but in Test cricket which is his favorite format, Kohli specializes in scoring double centuries. The Indian captain has so far scored a total of 7 double centuries in 145 Test innings. Currently at the top of his career, Kohli has plenty of time to achieve the record for most double centuries in Tests.

Most Test centuries as captain: Virat Kohli has scored a total of 20 centuries as a captain in his Test career so far. This Indian batsman is just 6 centuries away from the record of scoring the most Test centuries as a captain. The record is currently named after former South African captain Graeme Smith, who played 25 century innings for his team as captain.

Record Of Scoring Most ODI Tons As A Captain: Along with the Test, Kohli is also very close to becoming the batsman to score the most centuries in ODIs. In the ODI career, Kohli has scored 21 centuries as captain so far. The captain who has scored the most ODI centuries is former Australian batting legend Ricky Ponting. Ponting had scored 22 centuries in 230 ODIs. In such a situation, Kohli can break this record only on the upcoming Australia tour.

Virat Can Become First Indian Captain To Score A Triple Century In Test Cricket: Though former explosive opener Virender Sehwag and young Karnataka player Karun Nair have scored triple centuries in Tests for India but till date no Indian captain has crossed the 300 mark in Test format. But if any player can achieve it, then he is the current Indian captain Virat Kohli. Kohli has already broken Mahendra Singh Dhoni's record of scoring the highest score in Test as a captain and if he now scores a triple century in Test, he can become the first Indian captain to do so.
