Despite retiring in 2013, Sachin Tendulkar remains the all-time leader in Test runs, holding several enduring records. He finished his illustrious career with a remarkable total of 15,921 runs. Among current players, India’s Virat Kohli, Australia’s Steve Smith, and England’s Joe Root lead the rankings for most Test runs. Joe Root currently tops this list with 12,402 runs, followed by Steve Smith with 9,685 runs and Virat Kohli with 8,871 runs, showcasing the competitive nature of today’s cricket.
Brad Hogg Talked About Virat Kohli:
Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Joe Root are often regarded as the next generation of cricketing greats, with many experts and former players believing they have the potential to surpass Sachin Tendulkar’s record for the most Test runs. While Root has maintained impressive form in the longest format of the game, both Smith and Kohli have experienced significant struggles recently.
Amid this downturn for Smith and Kohli, former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg has made notable comments regarding Kohli’s performance. Hogg’s assessment highlights the pressure Kohli faces as he tries to regain his form, emphasizing the challenges that come with high expectations in international cricket. The cricketing world will be watching closely to see if Kohli can bounce back and reclaim his previous prowess.

He said, “ I just don’t think Virat is going to get there. I think he’s lost his momentum and the momentum that he’s lost has been for a number of years now. He’s got to turn around in the next 10 Test matches, or he’s going to drop off.”
In the India vs. Bangladesh match held in Chennai, Virat Kohli had a disappointing outing, managing to score just 6 runs in the first innings and 17 in the second. His struggles at the crease highlighted the challenges he has faced recently, further intensifying the scrutiny surrounding his current form in Test cricket.
He added, “ Joe Root has 146 Test matches with 12,000 runs. Sachin Tendulkar made nearly 16,000 runs in 200 Test matches. That’s 4,000 runs in 66 Tests. I think Joe Root can go close to toppling that. Watch out, Joe Root is on the move to beat Sachin Tendulkar. I think quietly he’ll have that in the back of his mind to try and topple that little unique stat.”
