Records of Virat Kohli which are tough for Babar Azam to break

1. Seven Double Hundreds in Tests

Virat Kohli aged 33 debuted for the Indian Test side in 2011 and has created as well as shattered many records. He has played 96 matches and has hit 7765 runs with an astounding average of 51.08 with 27 centuries and 27 Half-centuries.

Babar Azam the 27-year-old debuted for the Pakistan Test side, 5 years after Virat Kohli in 2016. He has represented the Pakistani whites in 35 matches and has scored 2362 runs with an average of 42.95  which includes five centuries and 18 half-centuries. Kohli being the senior has played many more matches than Babar and has hit seven double centuries till now.

Babar’s numbers are not great enough like Kohli’s and he hasn’t hit a double century in Tests yet and his highest score remains as 143. With average stats in this format, it is evident that Kohli is a much better batter, and Babar being played 35 matches has not had a double hundred under his kitty yet, hence it would be difficult for him to beat this record.
