Border-Gavaskar Trophy: As soon as the second match of the ongoing Test series between India and Australia begins, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli. Kohli has shown his rhythm by scoring a brilliant century in the very first match of the series. Such a start in this five-match series has become a cause of concern for the Australian camp. If Virat's bat continues to roar like this in the next four matches, then he can break Don Bradman's 76-year-old record.Don Bradman's historical recordDon Bradman holds the record for scoring the most centuries by a foreign batsman on the opposing team's soil. He scored 2674 runs in 19 Test matches against England and scored 11 centuries. This record is still unbroken. The interesting thing is that Kohli is on the verge of breaking this record.Kohli's dominance in AustraliaVirat Kohli has so far played 43 Test matches in Australia and scored 10 centuries. This means that Kohli needs one more century to equal Don Bradman and two centuries to break the record. Although it is not easy, it is not impossible for Kohli. If Kohli scores two more centuries in this series, he will break this historic record of Don Bradman.Virat's Pink Ball Test RecordAnother special thing in Virat Kohli's achievements is that he is the only batsman from India to score a century in the Pink Ball Test. He achieved this feat against Bangladesh in Kolkata in 2019. This was India's first Pink Ball Test, and since then no Indian batsman has been able to score a century in this format.Why all eyes on Virat Kohli?Kohli back in form: Kohli has scored a brilliant century in the first match of the series, which is a sign of his form and confidence.Don Bradman's Record: This record can be a big milestone for Indian cricket.Importance of the series: A good performance against Australia will not only add to Kohli's personal achievements but can also put Team India in a strong position in the series.What does Australia's challenge say?The Australian team will be in awe of Kohli's current form. Given his past record, the Australian bowlers will have to make an extra effort to stop him. However, it will also be important for Kohli to bat with patience and technique, as the conditions in Australia and their bowling attack can prove to be challenging for any batsman.Conclusion: Time to create historyVirat Kohli has a golden opportunity to create history in this series. If he breaks Don Bradman's record, it will be another proof of his ability and consistency. The expectations of Indian cricket fans are with him, and it will be interesting to see how Kohli faces this challenge.
