Unbreakable Cricket Records : Virat Kohli, who needs no introduction in modern day cricket. As the name suggests, even 'Virat' records look easy in front of this run machine. Currently Virat is on 80 centuries and fans are expecting him to break Sachin's record of 100 centuries. But there is another record which Kohli is very close to. Virat is just 4 steps away from this record, but still it is almost impossible to break this record.

This record is in the name of Don Bradman 

We are talking about the record of most double centuries in international cricket, which is in the name of Don Bradman. He was such a batsman whose wicket the bowlers yearned for. Bradman's career lasted from 1928 to 1948. During this time he scored 12 double hundreds. Talking about the top-5, there is no active batsman in this list except Virat Kohli. 

 

Virat will have to roll papad

Virat Kohli is at the 5th position in this list. He has scored 7 double centuries in 115 matches so far. Above Virat is former England legend Walter Hammond who has scored 7 double centuries. At the third position comes the name of legendary Brian Lara who scored a total of 9 double centuries in his career. At the second position is Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara who has 11 double centuries to his name and he missed Bradman's record by 2 steps.
