Virat Kohli records: Preparations for the third Test between India and New Zealand have now begun. The final match will be played on November 1 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Meanwhile, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli in the next match. His bat has yet to see an inning in this series. Fans are waiting to see Kohli famous and recognized in the same superb form. At the same time, once Kohli bats in the first innings of this game, he will break Rahul Dravid’s huge record. After that, only Sachin Tendulkar was left in front of him.

Virat Kohli just one step away from his 600th international innings

In fact, Virat Kohli has played a total of 599 innings in international cricket so far. That means he only needs one more game to complete 600 innings. Once Kohli takes part in the Test series starting on November 1 in Mumbai, he will become the second Indian batsman to do so. Interestingly and coincidentally, Rahul Dravid also played only 599 innings in his international career. Although he missed the 600th game. But if you look at it from another perspective, he has played over 600 innings in international cricket.

Rahul Dravid played a lot of international innings

Rahul Dravid has played a total of 605 innings. But he didn’t do that for India. Dravid has also played some games for Asia 11. Thus, his total international innings was over 600, but he played only 599 for India. This means Kohli is on the verge of breaking Rahul Dravid’s record in the matter. Now it will certainly be interesting to see if this record will be broken on the first day of testing or later.

Sachin Tendulkar is India’s batsman who has played the most international innings. He has played 782 innings for India. In this matter, he is number one. There is no doubt that Virat Kohli will overtake Rahul Dravid, but it will certainly be interesting to see whether he overtakes Sachin Tendulkar. Meanwhile, apart from the record, attention will also be focused on whether Kohli’s bat will perform as it should in the next game. It remains to be seen whether Kohli’s form returns after Diwali.
