IND vs AUS 1st Test: Only a few days are left for the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be held between Australia and India. The first match of the four-match Test series will be played in Nagpur from 9 February. In this series, there will be a fierce competition between the batsmen of Team India and the fast bowlers of Australia. At the same time, all eyes will be on the team’s star batsman Virat Kohli in this series. Kohli’s bat has not scored a single century in Tests for more than three years. However, he regained his old rhythm in T20 and ODIs. Virat Kohli will be aiming for a big Test record in the first Test match of the Test series to be held in Nagpur.
Virat Kohli just 64 runs away from creating history:
Let us tell you that Virat Kohli will make a new record in this test match. Now Kohli is only 64 runs away from that record. If Virat Kohli scores 64 runs in the first Test, it will be a special achievement for him. Kohli is just 64 runs away from completing 25000 runs in all three formats of cricket. Virat Kohli will join a special list by becoming 25 thousand in his cricket. Apart from Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting, Mahela Jayawardene and Jacques Kallis have been able to touch the figure of 25,000 runs in international cricket.
Sachin Tendulkar’s record will be on target:
Kohli will become the second batsman to touch the mark of 25,000 runs in cricket for India. Earlier, Sachin Tendulkar had set this record in his cricket career. But Virat Kohli will become the fastest batsman to score 25000 runs in International Cricket. Before him, this record was in the name of Sachin only. Sachin had scored 25 thousand runs in 577 innings. While Kohli has scored 24936 runs in 546 innings.
The Indian team for the first two Tests will be as follows:
India Test Team – Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan, R Ashwin, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat and Suryakumar Yadav.
