IND vs AUS: India's top batsman, Virat Kohli, has a knack for breaking old records and creating new ones. He has shattered numerous records, sometimes seemingly for fun. Currently, he is showcasing his talent in the match against Australia as part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. With a combination of solid defense and magical shots played at just the right moments, Kohli is demonstrating his class. Having already crossed the half-century mark, he is now racing toward a century, during which he has set a new record.
In the Perth Test, Kohli’s latest century puts him on par with batting great Sachin Tendulkar. Virat has claimed the second spot on the list of Asian batsmen with the most half-centuries on Australian soil. Sachin leads with 13 half-centuries, while Kohli has achieved his 11th, surpassing legendary Pakistani batsman Zaheer Abbas, who also had 11. Given Kohli's current form, it's likely that he will soon break Sachin's record of half-centuries.
With Kohli back in form, many fans are confident that he will surpass the Master Blaster's record. As of now, Team India stands at 406 runs for 5 wickets in the Perth Test, with Kohli at 66 not out and Washington Sundar at 26 not out. India's lead has reached 452 runs, and it seems likely that they will continue to bat until the morning session of the fourth day is over. If the lead exceeds 500 runs, a declaration may follow. All eyes are on Kohli as he moves closer to a century, so it will be interesting to see when the declaration occurs.
