Over the last few years in Test cricket, the home team has always had an upper hand going into the series and in most of the tours, it is the home team that came out victorious at the end of the series, which was not the case back in 2000s.

The teams have started taking home advantage to a whole new level, depending on the weakness of the touring party. The tracks start turning on day one in Asia, whereas the ball is always doing something since ball one outside of Asia.

Because of this reason, batsmen have found it difficult to play away from home. Back in 2000s, teams did not take home advantage as much, the tracks were mostly batting friendly and most matches resulted in a draw.

The situation has changed as of now because a draw is very rare in this era as taking 20 wickets in the match has become easier. Virat Kohli has battled all the odds to rise to the top and has already broken many batting records. It will not be a surprise if he goes on to break even more of them.


Conclusion

Currently, Virat Kohli might not be the best Indian Test batsman ever, but he certainly has the ability to be India's best ever. If Virat Kohli continues to play the way he is playing, he will definitely go on to break numerous batting records and will become the best Test batsman the world of cricket has ever seen.
