Former captain of the Indian team Virat Kohli will be in action once again. The team has not been announced for the T20 series yet, but he has been given a place in the ODI and Test team. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli will have at least two records on his target this time, which he would like to break.Virat Kohli can become the top 5 batsman with most runs in international cricketFormer Indian team captain Virat Kohli will be eyeing two major records on the Caribbean tour. Kohli has so far scored 25,385 runs in international cricket. He is currently at number six in terms of scoring the most runs. Although many batsmen have scored more runs than him, who are far ahead of him, but South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis has scored 25,534 runs after playing 519 matches in his international career, he is the number one in scoring the most runs. are on five.

We are saying seven innings here because at least four innings of two Tests and three ODIs. If he is also included in the T20 team, then he can get five more matches. But it should be expected that he will cross the 150-run mark in the first two Tests itself. The runs scored after this will be extra.Virat Kohli will become the player to play 500 international matchesThe first match of the Test series will start from 12th July and the second match will be held from 20th July at Queens Park Oval in Trinidad. This match is going to be very special for Kohli. This will be the 500th international match of his career. He has played 498 matches in his career so far. In the first Test, he will match former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, who played 499 matches in his illustrious career. Kohli will become the 10th player in history to play 500 international matches. He will be only the fourth Indian and the first player after Rahul Dravid to reach this milestone. To make another record, he will have to wait till the second test and for this he does not even have to do anything special, but it will be interesting to see how many matches and innings he takes to score 150 more runs.
