Virat Kohli on verge of breaking THIS Brian Lara record in the second test vs Australia at Adelaide

New Delhi: India is currently in Australia for the crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which consists of five Test matches. The series started under challenging conditions, but India went on to beat Australia in Perth by a massive margin of 295 runs, becoming the first-ever team to do so. Virat Kohli, Yashaswi Jaiswal, and Jasprit Bumrah were some of the key architects behind this crucial win, which has significant implications for the series and qualification for the World Test Championship final. Virat Kohli smashed his 30th Test century, while Yashaswi Jaiswal joined the list of very few batsmen to score a century in Perth. India will take on Australia again at the Adelaide Oval from December 6, and Kohli will be eyeing a unique record held by Brian Lara, which has stood for a long time.
