3 records which, if broken, could make Virat Kohli the greatest Test batsmen of all time 

Virat Kohli is undoubtedly the greatest batsmen of this generation across all formats. India's premier no 4 in Test matches is a catastrophic figure for the bowlers. His consistent run-scoring ability has made him earn a nickname of the run machine. The way he is batting at the moment no record seems to be safe. He has been on a rampage against best of the bowlers.

Though the present Indian captain was once berated for his poor Test record overseas, especially in England, it seems like the skipper took it seriously and shut every critic's mouth with his performances. He started to destroy bowling attacks ever since he toured Australia in 2014.

Virat Kohli's immaculate batting performance lead him to gather a mammoth 693 runs in 2014-15 Test series in Australia. In the 2017-18 tour of South Africa, he scored 289 runs in 3 Test match series, which included a century at Centurion. In the same year, Kohli destroyed all the demons of 2014 in England when he accumulated 593 runs against them this year, which included a century at Edgbaston and Trent Bridge.

At the moment Kohli's test statistics stand at

Matches:73 Runs:6331 Average:54.6 100s:24 50s:19 200s:6

There are a few records that the Indian skipper will have to break in his career, which could arguably make him the best Test batsmen ever:

#3 Brian Lara's quadruple century

Brian Lara is undoubtedly one of the greatest batsmen of all time. He was known for his ability to amass gigantic score in a single inning. He broke Sir Garfield Sober's record in 1994 when he scored 375 at Antigua. And at the same ground, he scored test history's first ever quadruple century. He has a total of 9 double centuries, 2 triple centuries, 1 quadruple century against his name.

Virat Kohli has learnt the art of playing big innings and it might seem easy for him to surpass Lara's tally of the 200s and 300s, but his real test will be to go across the 400 runs mark that has remained intact for more than a decade.

#2 Tendulkar's tally of 51 hundred.

Sachin Tendulkar - the man whose name is synonymous with records. Every time a record is broken whether its ODIs or Tests, his name will appear on the screen. He stands atop the list of highest run-getters and highest century makers. He scored 51 Test hundreds in his entire life.

The way Kohli is batting at the moment, he is churning out centuries after centuries in every innings that he plays. He has 24 Test centuries in 73 Tests and it will be possible to break his idol's tally if he continues to dominate world cricket in the same manner. Even if Kohli plays another 70 Test matches, it will be expected of him to score another 27 tons.

It may be difficult for him to play the same number of matches that Sachin played, but Virat's run-scoring ability lies in his consistency and he has been doing it for half a decade now. It may be difficult to have a preconceived notion of him continuing the same form for the next five years or so, but the Delhi lad always seems to be up for the challenge thrown at him.

#1 Sir Don Bradman's tally of 200s and 300s

Sir Donald Bradman is often cited as the greatest batsman to have walked the earth. His Test average is a benchmark for the scorecard. He scored 6994 runs at an insuperable average of 99.94!

But there are two records of Sir Don that current Indian skipper Virat Kohli can surpass. Virat Kohli has 6 double centuries to his name at the moment, but he has still got 7-8 years ahead of him and even if he continues his run-scoring spree in the next 3-4 years, there is no doubt he will break Sir Don's record tally of 12 double centuries.

Even though Virat Kohli hasn't managed to score a triple century in his career yet, it is not too far away that he might convert one of his doubles into a triple century. He will have to score three triple centuries to break Sir Don's record.

If Kohli achieves these rare feats there is absolutely no doubt why he won't be celebrated as the greatest.
