Tue Oct 15 15:42:51 UTC 2024: ## Kohli on the Verge of History in New Zealand Series
**Wellington, New Zealand (October 14, 2024):** India’s star batsman, Virat Kohli, is on the verge of achieving several historic milestones in the upcoming test series against New Zealand. With 29 centuries to his name in Test cricket, Kohli needs just one more to surpass legendary Australian batsman Don Bradman, who holds the current record of 29 centuries.
Kohli is also closing in on the coveted 9,000-run mark in Test cricket. He currently sits on 8,947 runs from 115 matches and needs just 53 runs to achieve this landmark.
In addition, Kohli has a chance to become the third Indian batsman to score 1000 runs against New Zealand. He has already amassed 866 runs against the Kiwis, and needs just 34 more to reach the milestone.
Furthermore, Kohli has the potential to surpass former India captain, Sourav Ganguly, in terms of centuries against New Zealand. Both players have 3 centuries against the Kiwis, and if Kohli scores another century, he will take the lead.
In a more ambitious target, Kohli can surpass the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 4 centuries against New Zealand. If Kohli manages to score two more centuries in the series, he will overtake Tendulkar in this category as well.
The upcoming test series against New Zealand promises to be a memorable one for Virat Kohli as he stands on the cusp of etching his name further into the annals of cricketing history.
