NEW DELHI: India captain Virat Kohli has evoked comparisons with many legendary batsman during his record-breaking profession, and the in-form batsman is now taking a look at going previous the best of all, Sir Don Bradman, as India’s tour of South Africa winds down.
Kohli, 29, has to this point scored a surprising 870 runs on this tour, in 13 innings. If he manages another 104 in the remaining two T20Is to be played on February 21 and 24, he will move previous Bradman’s scarcely plausible mark of 974 runs in five Tests in opposition to England in 1930 to 2d at the all-time record of most runs scored on a tour.
If Kohli scores 130 more runs, he will move into uncharted territory.
The handiest man to best 1000 runs one a tour is Sir Viv Richards, who during West Indies’ 1976 tour of England made 1045 runs (829 in 4 Tests, 216 runs in 3 ODIs).
Kohli’s unbelievable run of form in South Africa during the last two months noticed him finish as the main run-getter within the 1-2 Test series loss with 286 an average of 47.66, adopted by means of 558 runs in six ODIs, with 3 centuries, which might be probably the most by means of any batsman ever during a bilateral series.
Kohli started the three-match T20I series with 26 off 20 balls as India beat South Africa by means of 28 runs in Johannesburg. He has two innings left to perhaps move previous Bradman and join Richards in an overly elite membership.
