It appears Virat Kohli sets or breaks a record each time he bats. On Thursday, Kohli outperformed Rahul Dravid's 1137 keeps running in abroad Tests in 2002 by scoring 1138 runs and tallying in 2018. With 259 runs so far in the five innings in Australia, Kohli went past Dravid to top the rundown of most abroad Test keeps running by an Indian in a calendar year.

Apart from Kohli and Dravid, Mohinder Amarnath scored 1065 runs in 1983 while Sunil Gavaskar had scored 918 runs in 1971 to make the top four in the list.

Virat Kohli was all set to respond to the boos and taunts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in a magnificent fashion with a 26th career Test hundred only for an unlikely story to strike. Mitchell Starc dismissed the well-set Indian captain for 82 on day 2 of the Boxing Day Test. Kohli is currently tied with Sachin Tendulkar with 6 Test hundreds in Australia and is one ahead of Sunil Gavaskar, who has five to his name.
