INDvSA Test Series: Virat Kohli achieves a unique record!

Star Indian batter Virat Kohli achieved a unique record during the test match against South Africa. He became the first and only batter to score over 2000 runs in a year for the seventh time.

But it came in a tough match for India, losing badly to South Africa by an innings and 32 runs in Centurion. Kohli’s achievement was a bright spot in India’s rough game, where they also lost points for bowling too slowly.

Kohli scored 38 runs in the first innings but got out to a good ball from Kagiso Rabada. He did better in the second innings, scoring 76 runs off 82 balls, taking him across the 2000-run mark in 2023. He has scored 2006 runs this year.

But South Africa were too strong, bowling India out for only 131 runs and winning the test match.

Even though Kohli got past 2000 runs this year, it’s not as much as he got in some other years. His best was 2818 runs scored in 2017. He did great in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2019 too.
