Virat Kohli Just Steps Away from Creating a New Record

The fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is set to commence on December 26 at the prestigious Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). With the series currently tied at 1-1, both teams are determined to secure a victory in this crucial match, intensifying their preparations.

All eyes are on Indian star batter Virat Kohli, whose performance has become a focal point amidst a streak of low scores. Fans and analysts alike are keen to see how Kohli will rise to the challenge in this high-stakes encounter.

Kohli stands on the brink of rewriting history at the MCG. He is closing in on breaking a record held by Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar leads the list of Indian players with the highest runs scored at the MCG, with 449 runs. Kohli, currently in third place with 316 runs, needs just 134 runs in this match to surpass Tendulkar’s milestone.

However, his performance dipped in the following two Tests, where he managed scores of 7 and 11 in the second Test, and only 3 runs in the first innings of the third Test. Across five innings in this series, Kohli has accumulated a total of just 126 runs.
