The second test match between India and Bangladesh will be played from 27th September at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Team India is eyeing a clean sweep by winning this match. Bangladesh cricket team will play to save the series by winning this match. Both the teams can reach Kanpur by this evening. Virat Kohli can break these 5 big records in Kanpur!
India's Test record at Kanpur
India has played 23 Tests in Kanpur so far, out of which it has won 7 and lost 3. That is, 13 Tests have ended in a draw here. India has not played any Test against Bangladesh here before. This means that this will be the first time that India and Bangladesh will face each other in red ball cricket in Kanpur.
Virat Kohli's Test performance in Kanpur
Now the question is that out of the 23 Test matches that India has played in Kanpur, Virat Kohli has played only 1 Test match there. Virat Kohli played the only Test against New Zealand in Kanpur, in which he scored only 27 runs in both innings. After this, Virat scored 9 runs in the first innings and 18 runs in the second innings. Kohli became the only person to complete 12000 runs on home ground in Chennai. Virat Kohli has not scored a single international century in the last 20 innings, but he has the ability and experience to play a big innings in place of an out of form Virat. If Virat does something like this in Kanpur, then believe me, he can set some big records.
This record will be in the name of King Kohli in Kanpur!
- Virat Kohli will leave behind Don Bradman's 29 Test centuries. Currently Virat also has 29 Test centuries to his name. But as soon as he scores a century in Kanpur, he will surpass Bradman.
- Virat Kanpur will have a chance to go ahead of Sachin Tendulkar in terms of catches. Sachin has taken 115 catches in Tests. Whereas Virat has taken 113 catches so far. That means Virat will go ahead of Sachin as soon as he takes 3 catches.
- Virat Kohli has a chance to become the first cricketer to score 27000 international runs in less than 600 innings in Kanpur. Virat is just 35 runs away from making this record. This record is currently in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who achieved this feat in 623 innings.
- Virat Kohli also has a chance to hit 1000 fours in Test cricket. He can achieve this feat by hitting his 7th four in Kanpur.
- If Virat Kohli scores 129 runs in the Kanpur Test, he will become the fourth Indian to score 9000 runs in Test cricket. Before him, only Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid could make this record.
