Run machine Virat Kohli would like to create a big upset with the bat in the third Test against Australia starting today at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. Rohit Sharma-led team, which has almost confirmed its place in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), is eyeing a resounding victory against Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Rohit & Co. have already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after defeating Australia in the first two Tests of the four-match series.

Kohli, 34, scored 20 runs in 31 balls in the second innings.
Virat Kohli will achieve another big achievement

Kohli is only 77 runs away from completing 4000 runs in Test cricket at home. Interestingly, the batting pair of Kohli and Rohit are 44 runs away from completing 1,000 runs as a pair in Test cricket.
Rohit Sharma has a chance to join the club of Sachin-Dhoni

Captain Rohit is close to achieving a big position in world cricket. He is 45 runs away from completing 17,000 runs in international cricket. If Rohit does this, he will join the list of batsmen who have scored more than 17,000 runs in international cricket along with Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni and Virender Sehwag.
