15 years later after Sachin's achievement, Virat Kohli struck his fifth Test century against the Aussies on the exact same day

Sachin Tendulkar is undoubtedly the most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time. His name appears whenever a record is broken - such was the man's batting prowess.

Sachin loved playing in Australia and on December 28th, 1999 he brought up his fifth Test century against Aussies and also crossed the 1000-run mark against them at the age of 26.

India's newest addition to the list of batting greats, Virat Kohli, has idolised Sachin Tendulkar ever since he started to understand the game.

He has followed in his footsteps to become one of the pillars of modern day cricket. He is India's most bankable player across all formats.

15 years later after Sachin's achievement, Virat Kohli struck his fifth Test century against the Aussies on the exact same day (Dec 28th).

The number of half-centuries and centuries taken to pile up 1000 runs against the same team (Australia) remained the same. He did it at the exact same age as Sachin's as well (26).
