Indian cricketer Virat Kohli continues to break records with his impeccable consistency, and his career has now reached a milestone that very few players in the world can claim. During the third Test match between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane, Kohli achieved a significant milestone that saw him joining the ranks of legendary cricketers. As soon as his name appeared in the playing XI, Kohli had already made history, having reached a landmark that was only previously accomplished by the great Sachin Tendulkar.
The moment Kohli stepped into the Test series, he became the second player ever to complete 100 international matches against Australia, after Tendulkar. This accomplishment solidified his position in cricketing history, as he became only the second player to play 100 international matches against Australia. Sachin Tendulkar, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time, holds the record for the most international matches against Australia, having played 110 games against them. Kohli, with this latest achievement, finds himself in second place, while West Indies legend Desmond Haynes ranks third with 97 matches against Australia. Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is fourth on the list, with 91 matches, followed by another West Indian great, Vivian Richards, who played 88 matches against the Aussies.
The milestone was celebrated by fans, but there is still a major expectation from Kohli’s fans, who eagerly await him to score a century with the bat at the Gabba. Although Kohli’s bat remained quiet in the Adelaide Test, he had previously made a huge impact with his bat in the Perth Test, where he scored his 30th Test century. With that century, Kohli surpassed the legendary Don Bradman’s record of 29 Test centuries, further cementing his place among cricket’s all-time greats. Now, as the series moves to Gabba, Kohli’s supporters are hoping he will find his rhythm once again and score a century with the bat, adding another remarkable chapter to his illustrious career.
