India are currently taking on Australia in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the iconic Gabba Cricket Ground in Brisbane. India will be looking to regain the momentum in the series after the humiliating 10-wicket loss in the second Test. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli, especially after his poor performance in Adelaide where he scored 7 and 11 in both innings respectively. However, even before he has come on to bat, Kohli has created a special feat of Sachin Tendulkar the moment when he stepped on the field.
Virat Kohli Becomes Second Ever Player To Achieve Massive Feat
Virat Kohli is currently playing his 100th international match against Australia across all three formats of the game. He becomes the second player in history to play a century of international games against Australia. The first player to do so was legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar, who has played 110 international games against Australia.
Here are the players to play most international matches against Australia:
Sachin Tendulkar (India)- 110
Virat Kohli (India)- 100
Desmond Haynes (West Indies)- 97
MS Dhoni (India)- 91
Sir Viv Richards (West Indies)- 88
Virat Kohli Needs One Century To Achieve Big Feat
Virat Kohli would be aiming to return to form after a dismal outing in the second Test where he scored 7 and 11 runs respectively. If he scores a century in Brisbane in the third Test, then he will become the second Indian after Sunil Gavakar to score five Test hundreds in all the big five Australian grounds. He will be the third away batter to achieve this feat after Gavaskar and England's Alastair Cook.
India Playing XI For Third Test Vs Australia: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
