#3 Virat Kohli now has the highest runs by a captain from Asia in Test cricket
Virat Kohli is a familiar name in the cricketing world, irrespective of which country fans belong to. He has been playing for India across formats with superficial consistency. He simply loves batting and scoring for his team and as a result, records follow him match after match. After he took over the Test captaincy from MS Dhoni in 2014, he has shouldered more responsibility and has been doing the bulk of the scoring for Team India.
A captain leading from the front in true essence. Today with his 45 run knocks, Kohli became the highest run scorer as a captain in Test cricket from Asia. With 4222 runs at an astonishing average of 66, Kohli surpassed the likes of Misbah Ul-Haq (4214), Mahela Jayawardene (3665), MS Dhoni (3454), and the legendary Sunil Gavaskar (3449).
The way Kohli is going about his batting and fitness standards, it is a matter of time to tumble most batting records in Cricket.
