Even though Kohli has been in excellent form for India over the past few months in white-ball cricket, his red-ball performance fell short of expectations. Since finding his form again in September of last year, Kohli has played two Tests against Bangladesh without scoring even a single fifty or higher.
The right-hander has always enjoyed scoring runs in the longest format of the game, and this series gives him the ideal chance to do so. Behind Jacques Kallis (25534), Mahela Jayawardene (25937), Ricky Ponting (27483), Kumar Sangakkara (28016), and leader Sachin Tendulkar (34357), Kohli is currently in sixth place with 24936 runs in international cricket.
For Kohli, Nagpur has been a fruitful hunting ground as the elegant batter amassed 354 runs in three games here. He has two centuries to his belt, including a double century against Sri Lanka in 2017. In addition, Kohli will try to become the fifth player after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sunil Gavaskar, and Virender Sehwag to score 4,000 Test runs at home. Currently, Kohli has 3,847 runs in 46 games for India.
In the Border-Gavaskar series, Kohli has scored 1,682 runs in 36 innings, which places him eighth all-time after Tendulkar (3,262 runs), Ricky Ponting (2,555 runs), VVS Laxman (2,434 runs), Dravid (2,143 runs), Michael Clarke (2,049 runs), and Cheteshwar Pujara (1,893 runs).
