Virat Kohli Record: Indian cricket team’s star batsman Virat Kohli has achieved another historic achievement on the soil of England. In the second ODI against England, he made a record which no Indian batsman had been able to achieve till now.

As soon as he hit a four off Jofra Archer at the Sophia Gardens ground in Cardiff, Virat Kohli left behind Rahul Dravid’s record and became the Indian batsman who scored the most runs in England in all three international formats (Test, ODI and T20).

Was only 4 runs away from the record

Before the start of the match, Virat Kohli needed only four runs to reach this feat. He made the record in his name by hitting a four in the ninth over of the Indian innings and added a new chapter in the history of Indian cricket.

Rahul Dravid’s record broken

Earlier this record was in the name of Rahul Dravid. Dravid had scored 2645 runs in 56 innings of 46 matches in England between 1996 and 2011.

Dravid’s stats:

• Run: 2645

So many runs behind Vivian Richards

After becoming number-1 among Indian batsmen, Virat Kohli will now have his eyes set on the world record. Sir Vivian Richards holds the record for scoring the most international runs by a foreign batsman on English soil. Vivian Richards has scored 3402 runs. That means Virat is still about 756 runs behind this record. If his excellent form continues, he can also make this global record in his name in the coming time.
