NEW DELHI: India captain Virat Kohli has evoked comparisons with many legendary batsman right through his record-breaking profession, and the in-form batsman is now taking a look at going past the best of all, Sir Don Bradman, as India’s tour of South Africa winds down.
Kohli, 29, has to this point scored a shocking 870 runs on this tour, in 13 innings. If he manages some other 104 in the remainder two T20Is to be performed on February 21 and 24, he'll transfer past Bradman’s scarcely plausible mark of 974 runs in 5 Tests in opposition to England in 1930 to 2d at the all-time record of maximum runs scored on a tour.

If Kohli rankings 130 extra runs, he'll transfer into uncharted territory.
The most effective guy to best 1000 runs one a tour is Sir Viv Richards, who right through West Indies’ 1976 tour of England made 1045 runs (829 in four Tests, 216 runs in 3 ODIs).
Kohli’s fantastic run of sort in South Africa over the last two months noticed him finish as the leading run-getter in the 1-2 Test series loss with 286 an average of 47.66, adopted by way of 558 runs in six ODIs, with 3 centuries, which might be the most by way of any batsman ever right through a bilateral series.
Kohli started the three-match T20I series with 26 off 20 balls as India beat South Africa by way of 28 runs in Johannesburg. He has two innings left to in all probability transfer past Bradman and join Richards in an overly elite membership.
