3 records even Virat Kohli will find difficult to break

#2 Most Test hundreds

While Kohli has an impressive 26 hundreds from 81 Tests, he has a mountain to climb if he wants to reach the top. It is Sachin Tendulkar again who holds the record for most hundreds in Test cricket; after 200 Tests in a career spanning from 1989 to 2013, Tendulkar ended up with a rich haul of 51 hundreds, in addition to 68 fifties, at an average of 53.78.

Unlike one-day cricket, where Tendulkar was searching for his maiden hundred for a few years, the legendary batsman scored his first Test century within a year of making his debut. He never looked back.

Kohli has his task cut out as far as chasing this record is concerned. He is more than halfway through his Test career, and still needs to score the same number of hundreds that he presently has to break Tendulkar’s record - 26.

It is by no means an impossible task for Kohli, but to be fair we cannot expect him to last the duration of Tendulkar’s career.
