BGT 2024/25 Indian batter Virat Kohli eyes Don Bradman's huge record in 2nd Test in Adelaide

Virat Kohli roared back to form in India's first Test versus Australia, in Perth, of the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy as he scored an impressive 100 not out in the second innings, helping India secure a massive 295-run win.

Ahead of the second Test, to be held at the picturesque Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, Kohli is on the cusp of equalling Sir Don Bradman's huge record.

Bradman holds the record for most international hundreds by a batter in a visiting country, with 11 tons in 19 matches in England from 1930-1948.

Kohli, on the other hand, has 10 centuries in Australia from 43 games, starting from 2011. 


Batters with most 100s in visiting countries

Don Bradman (Australia) - 11 in England
Virat Kohli (India) - 10 in Australia
Jack Hobbs (England) - 9 in Australia
Sachin Tendulkar (India) - 9 in Sri Lanka
Sir Viv Richards (West Indies) - 8 in England
Sunil Gavaskar (India) - 7 in West Indies


Kohli with 81 international tons has a bright chance of levelling Bradman's elite record in Adelaide, i.e. his happy hunting ground.

At the Adelaide Oval, the Indian star batter averages an impressive 63.62 with 509 runs with three hundreds and a fifty in four Tests.

Even in the white-ball formats, Kohli has played some memorable knocks at the Adelaide Oval.

Thus, he will be eager to carry on with the momentum and get a big score in the upcoming day-night Test between India and Australia, starting on Dec 6.

After a big win in Perth, India lead the five-match Test series 1-0 and Rohit Sharma & Co. will be desperate to add to Australia's woes in the pink-ball contest.

Pat Cummins-led Australia have lost only a solitary day-night Test, out of the 12 played.
