IND vs SA: Virat is unmatched after the year, scored a century in South Africa, so New Year…

New Delhi, Team India star Virat Kohli has a different relationship with the record. The list of records gets longer as soon as Virat enters the field. Recently during the World Cup, Virat created many records and became the king of the ODI format. These days Team India is planning to create history by winning the Test series in South Africa. All eyes are on King Kohli, who can end this year with two great records.

Virat Kohli was on a trip to London a few days before the Test series. It is being said that Kohli went to London from South Africa due to a family emergency. But this proved to be just a rumor as it was his planned trip. India and South Africa teams will meet in the first Test on December 26. Virat joined the team 3 days ago. If Virat scores a century in the first Test, he will hold two great records. One of these records is the most centuries on foreign soil in the long format. While second Virat Kohli can become the first batsman in the world to complete 2000 runs in a calendar year for the most number of times.

Steve Smith has scored the most centuries

Talking about Fab-4, Australian legend Steve Smith is number-1 in terms of scoring the most centuries in Test cricket. Not only this, Smith has also scored the highest number of innings with 16 centuries on foreign soil. Virat is second in this regard, having scored 15 centuries overseas. If he scores one more century, he can match Smith and become No.1.

Kumar Sangakkara will also be left behind

Kumar Sangakkara is number-1 among the batsmen who have scored more than 2000 runs in international cricket most times in a calendar year. He has done this feat 6 times. Virat Kohli has also scored more than 2000 international runs in a year 6 times so far. He is just 66 runs away from scoring 2000 runs this year. If Kohli scores 66 runs or a century in the first Test, he will become the first batsman in the world to score more than 2000 runs in a calendar year.
