Kohli is eyeing another test record of Sachin Tendulkar

As Kohli prepares for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, he stands on the brink of an important milestone. He is 58 runs away from becoming the fastest player in history to reach 27,000 runs in international cricket, a record he holds Sachin Tendulkar. If Kohli does this within his next eight innings, he will surpass Tendulkar’s record of 623 innings to reach the milestone, cementing his status as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game.

Adding to this incredible achievement, Kohli is also aiming to become the fourth Indian batsman to score 9,000 runs in Test cricket, joining legendary groups such as Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar again Rahul Dravid. However, it is said that he will walk slowly among them to reach this landmark.

The upcoming Test series against Bangladesh is important for India, not only for Kohli’s milestones but also for the team’s standing ICC World Test Championship. India are currently sitting at the top of the points and are aiming to maintain their good home record, as they have not lost a series at home since 2012. Historically, India have dominated Bangladesh in Test matches, winning 11 and drawing twice in 13 matches.
