In this match, he can make a big record in his name, a record which till now no wicket player has been able to make on the soil of Adelaide.
Virat Kohli very close to creating history
Virat Kohli can prove to be a big challenge for the host Australian team in the Adelaide Test match. Virat bats very well in Adelaide. Kohli’s records on this field are quite scary. Virat has played 11 international matches so far at Adelaide Oval ground. During this period, he has scored 957 runs at an average of 73.61, which also includes 5 centuries. That means Virat likes playing in Adelaide very much, which is also proved by these figures.
