After defeating Bangladesh in Chennai within 4 days, now it is the turn of the second and the last test match of the series to be played in Kanpur. The question is how is India's record in Kanpur? How is Virat Kohli's performance? Can Virat Kohli sacrifice those 5 big records in Kanpur, which he is very close to? To know the answer to these questions, it is important to understand the whole game of statistics related to the Kanpur test.

India's Test record at Kanpur

India has played 23 Tests in Kanpur so far, winning 7 and losing 3. That means 13 Tests have ended in a draw here. India has never played a Test against Bangladesh here before. That means, this will be the first time when India and Bangladesh will face each other in red ball cricket in Kanpur.

Virat Kohli's Test performance in Kanpur

Now the question is, out of the 23 Tests played by India in Kanpur, how many have been played by Virat Kohli there? The answer is only 1 Test match. Virat Kohli played the only Test in Kanpur against New Zealand, in which he scored just 27 runs in both the innings combined. Virat then scored 9 runs in the first innings and 18 runs in the second innings.

Now with this performance of King Kohli in Kanpur, it cannot be expected that he will break any record. His performance was not good even in the last Test played in the current series. He scored just 23 runs in both the innings of the Chennai Test. The only achievement he achieved was completing 12000 runs on home ground.

However, the other side of the coin is that we are talking about Virat Kohli here, who may not have scored an international century in the last 20 innings, but he has enough ability and experience to play a big innings even if he is in poor form. If Virat does something like this in Kanpur, then believe me, he can make some big records in his name.

These records will be in the name of King Kohli in Kanpur!

By the way, which are those records which can be sacrificed on the Kanpur ground? The first big record that comes to the fore as an answer to this question is that of surpassing Don Bradman's 29 Test centuries. Currently, Virat also has 29 Test centuries. But as soon as he scores a century in Kanpur, he will surpass Bradman.

The second record is related to Sachin. If Virat can surpass Bradman in Kanpur in terms of centuries, then he will have a chance to surpass Sachin Tendulkar in terms of catches. Sachin has taken 115 catches in Tests. Whereas Virat has taken 113 catches so far. This means that Virat will go ahead of Sachin as soon as he catches 3 catches.

Virat Kohli has a chance to become the first cricketer to score 27000 international runs in less than 600 innings in Kanpur. Virat is just 35 runs away from making this record. Currently this record is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who did this in 623 innings.

Virat Kohli also has a chance to hit 1000 fours in Test cricket. He can achieve this feat by hitting his 7th four in Kanpur.

If Virat Kohli scores 129 runs in the Kanpur Test, he will become the fourth Indian to score 9000 runs in Test cricket. Before him, only Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid have been able to make this record.
