India’s modern-day batting great is eyeing a special milestone in the 3rd Test match of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Kohli is only one century away from going past Sachin Tendulkar and entering an elite list of players.
India are all set to face Australia in the third Test match of the series at Gabba, Brisbane. The visitors were annihilated in the second match in Adelaide as their batting fell apart in the Day-Night Test match. Even Virat, who had scored a hundred in the first Test match, could not withstand the storm of the Australian bowlers with the Pink-ball in hand.
While he would be regretting of not making it big in Adelaide, Kohli has a couple of records in his sights if he gets one more century at the Gabba.
If Kohli scores a hundred at Gabba, he will become only the third visiting player in the world to have scored centuries at all five major venues of Australia. Only Sunil Gavaskar and Alastair Cook are the visitor batters who have hit a century at all five major Australian venues.
Kohli currently has hundreds in Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. Gabba is the only major venue where the Indian star has not got to a triple digit mark. Sachin Tendulkar has centuries at four venues in Australia – Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and WACA of Perth.
