Sachin Tendulkar had said goodbye to cricket in the year 2013. After that many of his records kept getting broken. His record of scoring the most runs in Tests is also in danger, because Joe Root has come very close to it. Root is just 1808 runs away from breaking Sachin’s record. On the other hand, Virat Kohli is chasing the ‘Master Blaster’ in terms of scoring the most international runs. Know here, how far away is Virat from making the record of scoring most international runs?
Will Virat be able to come out ahead?
Sachin Tendulkar had scored 34,357 runs in his historic cricket career of 24 years. Most of Sachin’s runs came in ODI and Test formats, as he could play only one T20 match for India. On the other hand, Virat Kohli has played a lot of matches for India in all three formats, yet Virat is still far behind in scoring the most international runs.
If Virat Kohli wants to make the record of scoring most international runs, he will have to score 6,142 more runs. Since Virat Kohli has retired from Test and T20 formats, and by playing only ODI matches, he will probably never be able to break Virat Kohli’s record. However, Virat has made the record of scoring most centuries in ODI. Sachin Tendulkar had scored 49 ODI centuries, while Virat has scored 54 centuries so far.
