With 25534 runs in his international career despite appearing in a whopping 519 matches, Jacques Kallis sits ahead of him at the fifth place.
Digital Desk: An international cricket break of one month for Team India is about to come to an end. In two Tests, three ODIs, and five T20Is, they will go to face West Indies. The Test series, which will begin on July 12, is scheduled to kick off the tour. The three-match ODI series will be the focus of attention because the World Cup is only three months away, but it will also be India's first series in the new World Test Championship (WTC) schedule.
On the Caribbean tour, Virat Kohli, a former captain of India, will be focusing on a few significant achievements. He is in sixth place in this category with 25385 runs scored to date in international cricket.
With 25534 runs in his international career despite appearing in a whopping 519 matches, Jacques Kallis sits ahead of him in fifth place.
Kohli is just 150 runs away from Kallis and the top five scorers in the history of international cricket. On his West Indies tour, Kohli will have a total of seven innings to score 150 runs. But given that India is predicted to win the two-match Test series, he will be expected to reach this milestone during the Test series itself.
In addition, Virat Kohli will mark his 500th career international match during the second Test, which begins on July 20 at Trinidad's Queen's Park Oval. With 498 matches played in his career to date, he will level up with Inzamam-ul-Haq (499 matches played in his distinguished career) in the first Test. If he plays 500 international games, Kohli will only be the 10th player in history. In addition, he will become the first Indian player since Rahul Dravid to reach the stated milestone.
