For India, only two batsmen have scored 10000 runs in both Test and ODI format, including the names of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. The special thing is that Virat Kohli also had a chance to join it. But he has missed it. Kohli surprised everyone by suddenly retiring from Test cricket. He took retirement at a time when the England tour was completely in front.

10000 runs could not be completed in Test cricket

Virat Kohli has scored a total of 14181 runs in ODI cricket so far, with 51 centuries in his name. At the same time, he scored a total of 9230 runs in 123 Tests for India. In Test cricket, he was just 770 runs away from completing 10000 runs. If he did not retire from the Test and completed 10000 runs in the Test, he would have become the third Indian batsman to score more than ten thousand runs in both Test and ODI format for India, but it could not happen.

Made debut in the year 2011
