Virat Kohli ne apne naam ek aur bada record joda, jab wo Test cricket mein 9000 runs complete karne wale chauthe Indian batter ban gaye. Kohli ne Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid aur Sunil Gavaskar jese mahaan players ki list mein apna naam shamil kiya. Ye milestone Kohli ne New Zealand ke against Test match ki second innings mein half-century maarte huve achieve kiya.
Pehle innings mein duck out hone ke bawajood, Kohli ne second innings mein apni team ke liye strong comeback kiya, jab India ko 356-run ka bada target chase karna tha. New Zealand ne pehli innings mein 402 runs banaye the, jisme Rachin Ravindra ka shandar century shamil tha. India apni pehli innings mein sirf 46 runs par all out ho gayi thi, jo unka ghar pe sabse chhota Test score hai. Is tough situation mein Kohli ki resilience sabse alag nazar aayi, jab unhone team ke liye momentum build kiya.
Ye 9000-run ka landmark Virat Kohli ne
197 innings mein achieve kiya, jo unke predecessors se zyada time liya. 8000 se 9000 runs tak ka safar unhone 28 innings mein tay kiya, aur 2022 se is milestone ka intezar tha. Bengaluru Test ke dauran, Kohli ne ek aur record toda, jab unhone apni 536th international appearance ki, MS Dhoni ke 535 caps ko surpass karte hue. Ab Kohli Indian players mein second-most capped player ban gaye hain, sirf Tendulkar ke 664 appearances ke peeche.
Is se pehle, Bangladesh ke against series mein Kohli ne 27,000 international runs complete karne ka record bhi banaya, sirf 594 innings mein. Ye unhe cricket ke sabse mahaan players ki list mein mazboot jagah dilata hai.
Most Test Runs for India:
- 15921 – Sachin Tendulkar
- 13288 – Rahul Dravid

India ki second innings mein Rohit Sharma ka aggressive start kaafi important tha, lekin unka unlucky dismissal ke baad Kohli ne Sarfaraz ke saath milke innings ko aage badhaya. Sarfaraz ne attacking shots ke saath New Zealand ke bowlers ko backfoot pe daal diya aur Kohli ne apne milestone ke sath innings ko stabilize kiya.
