The first match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After gaining a lead of 227 runs in the first innings, Team India is now eyeing to give a big target to Bangladesh. Meanwhile, during the second innings of Team India, star batsman Virat Kohli has done a big feat. He has joined a special list, in which earlier only Sachin Tendulkar's name was there from India.
The start of the Chennai Test was not very special for Virat Kohli. He was out after scoring just 6 runs. However, in the second innings, he started cautiously and made a big record as soon as he touched the 5-run mark. Actually, Virat Kohli has completed 12000 international runs in India. He has become the second batsman of India to do so. At the same time, Virat is only the 5th batsman in the world who has scored 12000 international runs at home.
Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most runs on home grounds. Sachin Tendulkar scored a total of 14192 runs in India. Australia's Ricky Ponting is second on this list with 13117 runs. Jacques Kallis also scored 12305 runs in South Africa. Kumar Sangakkara also managed to score 12043 runs in Sri Lanka. Now Virat Kohli has entered the list of these legends.
Virat Kohli is now eyeing another big record. If Virat scores 35 more runs in this series, he will complete 27000 runs in international cricket. He will become the fourth batsman in the world to reach this figure. Before this, only Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, and Kumar Sangakkara have been able to score 27000 runs in international cricket. At the same time, he will be the second batsman from India to achieve this feat. Apart from these, he can make many more special records during this series, which he is very close to.
