#2 Most runs in Tests
The master-blaster is the only player in the history of cricket to play 200 matches and has 15,921 runs including 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries at an average of 54 whereas the current Indian skipper has 6613 in 77 Tests for India.
Kohli will need another 10,000 runs to surpass Sachin but given the workload of all the three-formats and the captaincy to add to it, seems impossible.
#3 Most Test matches
Sachin has played 200 international matches in his entire career while Kohli has played 77 matches till now. He is the only player in the history of cricket to play 200 Test matches.
Tendulkar also has the most test tons in the history of world cricket. He became the first person and the only batsman to score a hundred centuries in international cricket on 16th March 2012, while Kohli only has 25 centuries in Tests as of now.
It certainly looks a tough task for the present Indian captain to break Tendulkar's record of 200 Test matches.
