Virat Kohli has a chance to reach a big milestone at Green Park, Kanpur

IND vs BAN: The second match of the Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played from September 27 at the historic Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The Indian team has taken the lead in the series by winning the first match, and now its eyes will be on clean sweeping Bangladesh. Captain Virat Kohli is fully prepared for this match. He could not perform according to his ability in the first Test, but in this match he will make every effort to leave his mark. The special thing is that if Kohli scores runs in this match, he can also achieve a big personal milestone.

Virat Kohli close to 27,000 international runs

Virat Kohli's name has already been included among the greatest batsmen in world cricket. Now he is just 35 runs away from completing 27,000 runs in international cricket. Only three batsmen have been able to do this feat so far - Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting. If Kohli scores 35 runs at Green Park, Kanpur, he will join this elite list, which will add another golden chapter to his achievements.

Kohli's records in all three formats

Virat Kohli has scored 26,965 runs in 593 innings of 534 matches. His performance has been excellent in all three formats - Test, ODI and T20 International. Kohli has scored 8,871 runs in 114 Test matches, while he has scored 13,906 runs in 295 ODIs. In T20 International, Kohli scored 4188 runs in 125 matches. However, now he has retired from T20 International, due to which his journey of records and achievements in T20 has stopped here.

Virat's poor performance in the first Test

Virat Kohli's performance in the first Test against Bangladesh was not up to his usual potential. In the first innings, he could score only 6 runs in 6 balls, while in the second innings he could only reach 17 runs. This performance from a batsman like Virat Kohli was definitely not up to the expectations of his fans. But Kohli has a history that whenever he fails in some innings, he then makes a comeback by playing a big innings. This match in Kanpur can be such an opportunity for him.

Kohli's performance in Kanpur

Kohli's Test record at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium has not been special so far. Kohli came here for the first time in the series played against New Zealand in 2016. In the first innings of that match, he could score 9 runs, while in the second innings he was limited to 18 runs. Overall, Kohli has only 27 runs to his name in Kanpur. In such a situation, this time Kohli would like to improve his old record, and would be looking for a chance to thrill the Kanpur audience by playing a memorable innings. If he plays a big innings here and also touches the milestone of 27,000 international runs, then this match will become unforgettable for Indian cricket and his fans.

Expectation of a big innings from Kohli

Virat Kohli's batting style is such that he can change the course of the match at any time. Although his form has not been the same for some time, a player like Kohli does not remain silent for long. All eyes will be on him in this match, and his fans will expect him to show his prowess with the bat in this match. If Kohli scores big, it will not only lead India to victory, but will also prove to be a big milestone for his personal career.

Overall, Kanpur's Green Park Stadium is going to witness an exciting match.
