3 milestones Virat Kohli can reach in the upcoming third Test vs Aus in Indore

It's been more than three years since the world witnessed a Test match century from Virat Kohli. Although he has found his groove back in the two white-ball formats, red-ball cricket has missed a special masterclass from 'King Kohli'.

He will, however, have a golden chance to hit his straps when Team India host Australia for the third Test match of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. The upcoming encounter is scheduled to be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Wednesday, March 1.

Although Kohli didn't score big in the previous Test in Delhi, he did look confident at the crease, scoring a combined 64 runs across both innings of the game.

The 34-year old also reached a significant personal milestone in Delhi, as he completed 25,000 international runs for India. That is just one of the countless records he has created over the years for India.

The upcoming match in Indore will also offer the batting maestro a chance to attain multiple personal landmarks. On that note, let's take a look at the top three milestones that Virat Kohli can reach in the upcoming Test fixture against Australia.

#3 Kohli can complete 4000 Test runs at home

India v Australia - 2nd Test: Day 3

48 of the 106 Test matches Virat Kohli has played have come in India. In those 48 Tests, the modern-day master has accumulated 3,923 runs at an average of 59.5 across 74 innings.

Another 77 runs in Indore would mean that Kohli reaches 4000 Test runs at home for India. As of now, only four Indians - Sachin Tendulkar (7216), Rahul Dravid (5598), Sunil Gavaskar (5067) and Virender Sehwag (4656) - have scored 4000 or more Test runs for India in India.

#2 Kohli could become the Indian with joint-most wins against Australia

India v Australia - 1st Test: Day 1.

If India manage to register another win in Indore, Kohli would tie the record of being the Indian with the most victories against Australia.

So far, the former Indian skipper has featured in 88 international matches against the Aussie unit. In those 88 matches, Kohli has tasted wins on 41 occasions.

Another win would take Kohli on level with MS Dhoni, who featured in 42 international wins against Australia during his career.

#1 Kohli could overtake Sanath Jayasuriya in list of most boundaries

India v Australia - 2nd Test: Day 2.

Since his debut in 2008, Virat Kohli has been a great contributor to Indian cricket. Over the course of his career Kohli has mustered a total of 25,012 runs, out of which 9,928 runs have come in fours.

He has clobbered 2,482 boundaries in international cricket so far. This is the eighth-most by any batter in the history of the game.

If Kohli manages to hit five more fours in the upcoming Test, he will eclipse Sanath Jayasuriya's mark of hitting 2,486 boundaries. That would make Kohli the batter with the seventh-most boundaries in international cricket.
