In a historic moment for world cricket, Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first player in the 146-year history of international cricket to amass 2000 runs in seven different calendar years.
Despite India's disappointing performance against South Africa in the 1st Test, Kohli's gritty innings of 76 off 82 balls marked his seventh occasion breaching the 2000-run mark in a single calendar year. The stalwart had previously achieved this milestone in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, securing his unparalleled position in the cricketing record books.
