Virat Kohli has now made this world record, which remained out of the reach of all the greats including Sachin and Lara.

Virat Kohli played an inning of 76 runs in the first Test match against South Africa that ended on Thursday. With the help of this inning, Virat Kohli completed his two thousand runs in international cricket this year. Along with this, Virat Kohli has registered a world record in his name which was never made by any batsman in the 146 years of cricket history.
