IND vs AUS 2nd Test: Virat Kohli 102 Runs Away To Surpass Brian Lara In Elite List – Know Details

Indian batter Virat Kohli is just 102-runs behind surpassing West Indies legend Brian Lara in an elite record during the IND vs AUS 2nd Test.

Indian batter Virat Kohli will be running behind more records during the IND vs AUS 2nd Test set to begin in Adelaide from December 6. The Indian team has already maintained a 1-0 lead after winning the first Test in Perth and now will aim on extending the lead. Jasprit Bumrah and Co showcased brilliant performance during the first Test in Perth wherein the bowling attack completely exposed the Australian batting lineup which consisted of big names such as Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. The Indian bowlers might ask more testing questions from Australia in the second Test as well.

Virat Kohli 102 Runs Behind Brian Lara In Elite List

However, as far as Virat Kohli is concerned, the latter is just 102 runs away from surpassing Brian Lara in a major record. Kohli has hit 509 runs from eight innings at an average of 63.62 at the Adelaide Oval. Lara has smashed 610 runs and tops the list of most runs at the venue by a visiting batter. Kohli has the full potential of surpassing the West Indies legend. Adelaide Oval is also very special for Virat as he registered his maiden Test hundred at the venue followed by back to back tons in 2014-15.

Getting back to the match, both the sides will be under pressure during the IND vs AUS 2nd Test in Adelaide. The Indian team doesn’t have the best of memories in Adelaide while playing a day-night Test. Team India was blown away for 36 runs in its previous pink ball Test at the venue and registered its lowest team total in Test cricket. However, they will be walking into the match with a positive and winning momentum.

On the other hand, Australia will be under a lot of pressure and will be desperate enough to level the series. The Australian team hasn’t won a single Test series at home since 1969 after losing the first match. The Aussies are pretty deadly at home and play their best cricket on the Australian soil. The Aussies know how to stand up after falling and that will be surely in the minds of the Indian batters. The hosts need to find out the counter of Jasprit Bumrah and Scott Boland coming into the side will surely trouble the Indian players.
