Virat Kohli’s Historic Milestone Indian cricket star Virat Kohli achieved a significant milestone during the ongoing 1st Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, despite facing a tough run of form in 2024.Â
Kohli’s Recent Struggles
Despite this momentous accomplishment, Kohli’s recent performance in Test cricket has not been up to his usual high standards.
In the first innings of this match, he was dismissed for just 6 runs after edging a delivery from Hasan Mahmud.
The story repeated itself in the second innings, where he was trapped LBW by Mehidy Hasan Miraz for 17 runs, even though TV replays later suggested a potential inside edge.
Kohli’s recent dismissals reflect a dip in form, yet his ability to remain focused and achieve milestones like 12,000 home runs speaks volumes about his perseverance.
His current form has sparked discussions among fans and experts, but Kohli continues to be an indispensable figure in India’s cricket lineup.
On the second day of the Test match, Kohli became only the fifth batter in cricket history to score over 12,000 runs at home across all formats (Tests/ODIs/T20Is).
He now joins an exclusive group of cricketing legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis, and Kumar Sangakkara.

Kohli reached this historic achievement after scoring 6 runs in India’s second innings, marking a remarkable career feat.
Although his individual innings was cut short at 17, the milestone adds to his illustrious legacy, reaffirming his status among cricket’s greats.
Kohli Close to Another Record
Adding to his home-run milestone, Kohli is now just 129 runs short of reaching 9,000 Test runs, a feat only achieved by three Indian legends: Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sunil Gavaskar.
As Kohli inches closer to joining this prestigious list, all eyes will be on him in the remaining matches of the series, anticipating when he will surpass yet another historic milestone.
