Spots: The countdown for Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has started. Team India is preparing intensively for its first Test match of the Australian tour to be held in Perth from November 22. Captain Rohit Sharma cannot help the team in the first test match. In such a situation, the entire responsibility of batting is on the shoulders of Virat Kohli. In the absence of Rohit, fans are expecting a big innings from Virat Kohli in the first test after a long wait.
Virat Kohli also wants a chance to make a great record in the Perth Test. Actually, Virat Kohli has performed brilliantly in the test matches against Australia. Kohli scored 2042 runs in 44 innings of 24 Test matches against Australia at an average of 47.48. This period took eight centuries and five and a half centuries. He is the fifth highest run scorer by the Indian batsman in Tests against Australia.
If Virat Kohli scores a total of 102 runs in both innings in the first Test match in Perth, he will break the records of two legendary Indian batsmen. Kohli, who scored 33 runs in the first Test match, will overtake Cheteshwar Pujara in terms of scoring the most runs in a Test match against Australia. Pujara has 2074 runs in his name in Tests against Australia. Also, after Pujara, it would be a great opportunity for Kohli to retain the great Rahul Dravid. Kohli runs away from the droid. Dravid scored 2143 runs in 54 test matches against Australia. The record of scoring most runs in a test match against Australia is in the name of the great Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin scored 3,630 runs in 74 Test matches, which included 11 centuries and 16 half-centuries. However, Kohli will have to wait a little longer to reach Sachin's record.
