Virat Kohli is on the verge of breaking Sir Don Bradman’s iconic record of 11 centuries as a visiting batter in a single country, a milestone that has stood unchallenged for 76 years. 

Kohli is now just one century away from surpassing it. With four Tests left in the series, he has a strong chance to achieve this historic feat. Virat Kohli has scored 10 international centuries in Australia from 43 matches since 2011, amassing 2710 runs at an impressive average of 54.20. His standout knock remains the 169 he scored in Melbourne during India’s 2014-15 tour.

Sir Don Bradman scored 11 centuries in England between 1930 and 1948, an incredible feat achieved in just 30 innings across 19 matches. His average during this time was an astonishing 102.84, with a top score of 334.

Virat Kohli’s 10th century in Australia came during the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. With this, Kohli surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most centuries by a visiting batter in a single country.

Jack Hobbs and Tendulkar, with 9 centuries each, are next on the list. Vivian Richards (8 centuries in England) and Sunil Gavaskar (7 in the West Indies) round out the top five.

India leads the series 1-0 after their dominant 295-run win in Perth, where Kohli (100*) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (161) stole the show. The second Test, a day-night match, starts on December 6 in Adelaide.
